LMI Furniture Gallery

The Mechanics' Institute Library effectively ceased operation in 1945. The grand old building was demolished in 1971. The books survive, and are celebrated on this blog. And so do a few precious objects – pieces of furniture and equipment.

Our photographer Nienna Fontana captured some of these objects in situ at Launceston Library a couple of years ago. Here are a few of Nienna's images;
