St Anne's Library, Carnegie library and Grade II listed building in Lytham St Annes, England.
St Anne's Library is a red brick building with buff terracotta trim located on Clifton Drive South in Lytham St Annes. The interior features an octagonal hall topped by a domed ceiling and lit by high windows, creating a bright space for reading and study.
The building was created in the early 1900s through a donation from American industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who funded hundreds of public libraries. It opened in 1906 and became an important place for education in the town.
The library holds materials about local history that show how the town grew over time. Visitors can find old photographs, documents, and records that tell stories about St Annes and the people who lived here.
The facility offers computer access, Wi-Fi, and printing services for visitors who want to study or work. The spaces are designed to be accessible for different learning needs and quiet work.
Every Thursday evening there is a special Quiet Hour when visitors turn off their devices and work together without noise. This creates an unusually calm space for concentration and conversation.
