Who do you recognise in these retro pictures taken inside Doncaster libraries?

Libraries provide a space for children and adults to enjoy literature as well as operating as community hubs so have a look through our gallery of photos taken in Doncaster libraries from the last couple of decades.

Doncaster has over 20 community libraries and a new central library is currently under construction.

Most of the town’s libraries are run by volunteers and are used as community spaces as well as a place to enjoy books.

Click through this gallery of photos to see the town’s libraries in years past.

A message from the Editor:

Thank you for reading this story on our website. While I have your attention, I also have an important request to make of you.

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news on this free-to-read site, I am asking you to also please purchase a copy of our newspaper.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspaper.
