Excerpt from The Cardiff Free Libraries, 1895
In the year 1858 Mr. Price wrote letters to the Cardiff newspapers advocating the adoption of the Act and the establishment of a Library. For two years nothing definite was done, although the letters had borne fruit by enlisting the services of Mr. George Smart, a member of the Town Council, who worked zealously with Mr. Price.
It was in 1860 that the first practical step was taken towards inducing the ratepayers to establish a Library. On the a4th October in that year a public meeting of ratepayers was held in the British School room, Millicent Street, to consider the advisability of adopting the Act. Mr. George Smart was voted to the chair. The attendance was very meagre, only about 35 ratepayers being present. An address was made by the Chairman, followed by Mr. Charles Thompson, who made 'an earnest speech in favour of the proposed library. The meeting was veryapathetic, there was no touch of enthusiasm, al though a resolution in favour of the Library was carried with but five dissentients.
