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.

This set of photographs was sent to me in 2006. At the time, I was starting my third year in authoring the fixBuffalo blog (2004 - 2014). fixBuffalo’s content mostly focused on neglected heritage buildings - religious and city-owned - on Buffalo’s east side. My editorial was non-academic and often irreverent. Readers sent me suggestions for new posts and I frequently received unsolicited collections of heritage photographs. The photos in this collection all have that familiar snapshot date stamp, indicting when the photos were developed and printed. In this case, they were stamped either March or April 1963.
The Western New York Heritage folks posted this definitive history - full of photos - of the Buffalo Library. The building in this photo set wasn’t the first to occupy the site and wouldn’t be the last. The building in these photos was completed in 1887 at a cost of $225, 000. Here's the WNY Heritage piece from 2005 - an authoritative review of this history of this civic building and the site. Not to be missed.
