Everton Library, Public library building in Everton Brow, Liverpool, England.
The Victorian-era Everton Library features an ornamental corner turret, decorative iron railings, and a glass-paneled barrel-shaped roof covering the main hall.
Built in 1896 by architect Thomas Shelmerdine, the library operated as a public knowledge center until its closure in 1999 after serving generations of Liverpool residents.
The library represented a major advancement in public education access during the late Victorian period, offering literature and learning resources to working-class communities.
The Grade II listed structure received £920,000 in council funding for essential repairs in 2021 to address structural issues and prevent further deterioration.
The building contains a distinctive squat octagon structure at Beacon Lane corner, supported by four columns and topped with a concave-sided turret spire.
