Manchester Central Library is an iconic building within its Town Hall Complex in the city centre’s St Peter’s Square. The Library contained numerous under-ground book stacks and above-ground reading rooms. The Great Hall, a grand circular domed reading room in the centre, contains much of the original furniture, a glass domed roof lantern light and ornate detail - the preservation of which is of great importance. Manchester Central Library has undergone many piecemeal changes since its construction; however, the building now has to accommodate services very different to those envisaged in 1934. Manchester City Council will provide residents and visitors with a range of state-of-the-art accessible services as part of the Town Hall Complex Transformation project. Manchester Central Library will be completely refurbished. (ref: http://www.wrap.org.uk/)
