The city’s new £189million library in Centenary Square has loads to offer - and much more than just books.

There are ten floors, where you can find poetry readings, coffee mornings, fun sessions for toddlers, photography exhibitions, performances, craft workshops and plenty of other activities.

There’s no cost to go in and opening hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm. There’s a ground-floor cafe open during library opening times, closing at 7pm Monday to Friday, and also a Discovery Cafe and terrace on Level 3.
