Could you tell me why this library is called the Brotherton library?
Thanks,
James Thomas Brotherton
Maryville, Tennessee. USA
Dear James,
The Brotherton Library is named after Edward Allen Brotherton (1 April 1856 - 21 October 1930). He was Member of Parliament for Wakefield (in West Yorkshire, England) 1902-1910 and 1918-1922 and a benefactor of Leeds university.
Best wishes,
Sean Curran
