There will be more references, but this is one:
A library for the people
The Mitchell Library is named after Stephen Mitchell, a wealthy tobacco manufacturer. When he died in 1874, he left almost £70,OOO to build and stock a public library for the people of Glasgow.
Since opening in 1877, The Mitchell has grown into one of Europe's largest public libraries with a book stock of 1.3 million books, 35,000 maps and thousands of photographs, newspapers and microfilms.
In the 21st century The Mitchell continues as the hub of a citywide information service for all residents, workers and visitors to the City.
