Work is set to start on fitting out a multi-million pound library in Nottingham this summer. The long-awaited Central Library, which will be based at the new Broad Marsh Car Park and Bus Station, is expected to be completed by summer 2023.
In an announcement on Monday, May 16, Nottingham City Council said the library would consist of three floors and include an extensive book collection, high-quality children's library with a storytelling room, as well as a café and a reception area which can be converted into a performance space.
A report to the council’s Executive Board on May 24 says that a number of assessments have been carried out, recommending that the £10.5m fit-out starts in July. Leader of the Labour-run city council, David Mellen, said the library, which replaces the Angel Row library, would help "breathe new life" into the area.
