It was explained to me that one couldn't borrow a book for home here, it wasn't that sort of library; one had to order a specific book or material on a subject and read / study it in one of the Reading Rooms.

The lovely façade of Liverpool's newly renovated Central Library. Despite its classical exterior, much of the interior is now very modern.

Was trying to get to Broad Street without going through Chamberlain Square and Paradise Forum, but Fletchers Walk was closed (was a Sunday), so went via the garden opposite the Town Hall, and ended up going up the spiral staircase, though Chamberlain Square and into Paradise Forum.
I think you can shortcut through Fletchers Walk between Monday to Saturday.
When I got off the spiral staircase, I saw this section leading to Library Theatre Birmingham.
A footbridge linking the Central Library to the Conservatoire.

During the month of March 2010, all of the library programs focused on the book Martin's Big Words, written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Bryan Collier. French journalist Anne Sinclair visited during this time and wrote in her blog of the visit:
"A library was built there with some 4000 books in English in order to familiarize them with the official language of the country. These books come from various loans and donations, and range from children’s stories to more sophisticated novels, to picture books or to atlases. The most consulted is the Guinness book of World Records, but the National Geographic Atlases come in as a close second. How to give dreams to those who cannot escape...
Martin Luther King was the figure and the theme of the week, and illustrated books with his famous quotes inspired drawings, paintings and skits performed by the children for their visitors with spirit and pride." (Translated by Penelope Meyers, Barnard College)
The new home of the Birr town library is in a refurbished former church building adjacent to St. Brendan's Roman Catholic Church. The library shares the building with Birr civic offices and the area's Tourist Information Office. Here we are looking from the second-floor book stacks down into the ground floor children's area.

GLADSTONE, On books and the housing of them
Gemak, Den Haag
A recurring element in Melissa’s working process is the research and exploration of unstable media. This exploration results in drawings, objects, installations, machines and public-rural interventions. Cruz Garcia is interested in an artisan and portable way of creating performative machines and digital media intending to put the public in a situation where he/she is active part of the work. Using purely what the possibilities and the circumstances provide and in contrast with the concept-subject she is currently employing, Melissa aims to formulate hypothetical futures. She takes discarded materials attributed to different cultures, de-contextualizes and refreshes them by a physical and conceptual transformation.

Reputedly one of the largest libraries in Europe the new Library of Birmingham appears to have been positively received both critically and by the public. A year on from it's opening in 2013 its popularity has not waned and its form and detail is impressive to behold.
The exterior is almost entirely clad in a striking filigree of metalwork, a nod to the city's industrial heritage, whilst within are several layers of open spaces and reading rooms, along with roof terraces giving a fine view over the city.
