History
The library building, Candie House, and its initial collection of books were donated to the island by Osmond de Beauvoir Priaulx in 1889.[1][2] The initial collection included references on European, Classical and Oriental literature, military history and local genealogy.[3] The building was subsequently extended[2] and the collection enlarged with material covering all aspects of Guernsey history.[1]
Today
The library's collection of local history and genealogy records makes it a primary resource for researchers in these areas. It also hosts exhibitions and lectures[4]
