Liverpool Central Library, Public library in Liverpool, United Kingdom

Liverpool Central Library is a public library in the city featuring multiple floors filled with books, documents, and work spaces. A distinctive glass atrium with spiral staircases connects the different levels and organizes the interior layout.
