Opened in 1906 and designed by A.E Cogswell. The building is pretty amazing and he designed it for free. Cogswell also designed the Palace Cinema in Guildhall walk. I was lucky enough to run a workshop there last year for the Visual Libraries Project and the design and charm hits you as soon as you enter. I encourage more people to visit this library and take time to wander around and look at the architecture. You can even borrow a book to read in their sensory garden. If only more libraries had this much history and atmosphere.
