MisterBus Posted April 15, 2012 Author Posted April 15, 2012 Sorry that posted itself before I'd finished and I'm not sure how to go back and edit it! The pictures show the public library at Boot Mill in Eskdale, Cumbria. The restored mill is also home to perhaps the smallest but nicest public library in the UK, serving the 200 or so local residents and the nearby campsite. Anyone know of any other curious UK libraries? Quote
Janet Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I think the nicest library I've ever seen is in Swansea - it's a gorgeous library inside, and it has fabulous views of the Bristol Channel! These pics don't do it justice, but here's the view... Cardiff's library is lovely too... And from the outside it's hard to beat Stratford-upon-Avon's... And Bristol Central library is lovely too...

MisterBus Posted April 17, 2012 Author Posted April 17, 2012 Yes, Stratford's looks particularly nice. I wonder if books appear better written if you're reading them in a nice location! Quote
chesilbeach Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 And Bristol Central library is lovely too... I'm pretty sure that they used the Reading Room as one of the locations in the recent series of Dirk Gently on the BBC - you can see a picture of it here on Wikipedia in the page for the architect, Charles Holden --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Holden Quote
Deborah Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) What an absolutely gorgeous library, MisterBus! The button to edit posts is right below the text-box by the way! Edited June 19, 2012 by Deborah Quote
