TY - JOUR AU - Jonathan D. Jeffrey AB - The June 1944 issue of Bulletin of the Kentucky Library Association contained a story by Amelia King Buckley entitled “The Manchester Library” in which she discussed the genesis of the Manchester Street Library. This operation evolved into the multifunctional Manchester Center which still provides social services to Lexington residents in the Irishtown neighborhood. The Center does not currently have a library component, but it places a strong emphasis on literacy training. Below is the complete article from 1944; I have prepared a postlude describing the Center’s development from that date.
