At the heart of Nottingham's Broad Marsh regeneration area stands the newly opened Nottingham Central Library, a vibrant centre that has captured the imagination of the city's residents.
After more than three years without a central library following the closure of the old Angel Row Library in 2020, Nottingham’s new Central Library has emerged as a symbol of revitalisation and cultural renewal.
The library has quickly become a focal point for the community, witnessing over 20,000 visits in its first month. Among its notable achievements are the borrowing of more than 16,000 books, the issuing 2,700 new library-joiners, and the hosting of 95 diverse events, all within a short span of time. From music performances and literature readings, to early-years and family history activities, there is something for everyone.
The tour will include the public side of the library and a behind the scenes look at the staff areas, as well as an opportunity to network before and after the tour.
