HistoryThe Orkney Library and Archive was founded in 1683 with a bequest of 150 books from William Baikie. The collection was kept at the local manse before being transferred to St Magnus Cathedral. In 1740 the collection was moved to the Old Tollboth. In 1815 a number subscribers to the collection founded The Orkney Library. The library was a subscription service only until 1890 when a donation from Andrew Carnegie allowed the library to adopt the 1850 Public Libraries Act. A further donation was made by Carnegie in 1903 for a dedicated building. The new Carnegie Library opened on Laing Street in Kirkwall in 1909. The current library building on Junction Street, Kirkwall opened in August 2003.[3] ArchiveThe Archive was established in 1973.[4] The collection includes letters from William Galloway to Sir Henry Dryden.[5] Twitter feudThe Library enjoys a good-natured and well publicised Twitter feud with Shetland Library.[6][7] J.K.
