<dc:title>Fountainbridge Library</dc:title>
<dc:description>&lt;p&gt; Fountainbridge Library is an icon of modern Scottish architecture. It was funded by the publisher Thomas Nelson Jr, and designed by the architect John A. W. Grant (1887 – 1959). It also features friezes on its façade by the sculptor Charles d’Orville Pilkington Jackson. Completed in 1940, the building was designed to house a state-of-the-art library and community hall, embodying the concerns of architects, librarians and social policy makers of the period. The building remained open during the blackout and still serves the community today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;GLOBAL CONNECTIONS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fountainbridge Library is an important example of Scottish Modernism, with links to the international modern movement in sculpture and architecture, particularly relating to Art Deco features.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ACTIVITIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Refreshments&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guided Tours at 10:30, 12:30 and 2:30 of both the inside and outside of the Library.
