Analyze a problem with a recurring daydream...

Everton Library, sadly closed down and falling into disrepair. A really lovely building that should be saved and re-opened.

Manchester Central Library is the headquarters of the city's library and information service in Manchester, England. Facing St Peter's Square, it was designed by E. Vincent Harris and constructed between 1930 and 1934. At its opening, one critic wrote, "This is the sort of thing which persuades one to believe in the perennial applicability of the Classical canon". The form of the building, a columned portico attached to a rotunda domed structure, is loosely derived from the Pantheon, Rome.

 

The library building is grade II* listed. A four-year project to renovate and refurbish the library commenced in 2010. Central Library re-opened on 22 March 2014.

Northern Ireland again. I love that country.

Shelves of books line a corridor in Chethams Library, Manchester

 

Chetham's Library in Manchester is the oldest free public reference library in the United Kingdom. It was established in 1653 under the will of Humphrey Chetham and has been in continuous use since.

 

The library holds more than 100,000 volumes of printed books, of which 60,000 were published before 1851.

 

Chetham's was the meeting place of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels when Marx visited Manchester. The economics books Marx was reading at the time can be seen on a shelf in the library, as can the window seat where Marx and Engels would meet.
