    Cannot believe this was my first visit to this library. Wonderful building with do much going on inside. Apart from using it as a library, there are also exhibitions and other events. Saw Beyond the Bassline which was a comprehensive dive into the last 500 years of black music. Will definitely return for a longer look around.

    First visit inside and I was impressed with the ease of free entry and finding my way around. Started the visit with an “Origin” coffee which was delicious and tasty pastries. Spent a lot of time perusing the displays, although several seemed to be missing from the cases presumably on loan? Stopped into the shop and there is an excellent selection of gifts and also novels. I could come back here for sure!

    We went to see the Treasures Gallery and it was pretty amazing seeing a historical copy of the Magna Carta! There is also a variety of texts including music, science, religion, and more! Admittedly when we went there were a few items temporarily removed, many being the Beatles display. But hey, it's free and it's a treasure trove of history! It's worth checking out!
