[3345] Derby Central Library, England

Derby Central Library was the main public and reference library in Derby, England, between 1879 and 2018. It was established in 1879 along with Derby Museum and Art Gallery, with which it shared a red brick building designed in the Domestic Flemish Gothic style by Richard Knill Freeman and given to Derby by Michael Thomas Bass. After 139 years, the Central Library was closed on 9 June 2018 as part of Derby City Council's restructuring of their library services. The building is now occupied by Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
