Liverpool Library is located in Liverpool City Centre on William Brown Street, a street known for its beautiful architecture and cobbled roadway. The library shares it’s original building with The World Museum Liverpool but has expanded over the years since it was originally first opened in 1860, to a crowd of over Four Hundred Thousand people! It was designed in the classical style (similar to St George’s Hall) by Thomas Allom who is also famous for designing many churches across Britain, and was a founding member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.

It was severely damaged by incendiary devices in World War Two, but luckily all the most valuable artefacts and books had previously been moved to safe houses – either in bunkers below the city or areas of low threat in the countryside. After the war it was restored and a number of buildings added to encompass the increasing population and needs of the city it serviced.

In 2010 it was proposed and accepted that these newer buildings would be demolished and rebuilt with modern facilities representing the twenty first century, including new reading, auditory and computing areas. The records office which was previously housed in the library will be moved and expanded into it’s own purpose built premises.
