Darwen Library, Public library in Darwen, England
The Darwen Library stands at 157 meters elevation on Knott Street, featuring traditional architectural elements that reflect its late Victorian construction period.
Andrew Carnegie provided £8,000 for the construction of this Grade II listed building, which opened its doors to the public in May 1908.
The library maintains an extensive collection of local history resources documenting the heritage of Darwen and the surrounding Lancashire region.
Visitors can access books, digital resources, and community events Monday through Saturday, with extended hours until 7 PM on Mondays.
Local brewers Fallons Exquisite Ales created a special beer to mark the library's centenary celebrations in April 2008.
