This is a really beautiful library. Throughout my secondary school years, it has been an extremely useful place too. I have many memories of being at this place and as a young teenager who didn't know much about navigating life, I was able to sign myself up with my own library card thanks to helpful staff.

The library's design is photogenic and beautiful to see, especially the Picton reading room. While I haven't read any books from the Picton room, it's certainly fascinating to see the variety of books they have, and to witness history in the form of old books. The architectural design of the room is also stunning.

There's many floors to the library, providing such a wide range of books. Apart from the book selection, it has also been very useful as a public space, somewhere I used to come a lot whenever I needed to study for exams. The view from the roof is beautiful and somewhere relaxing to be when taking a break. The library even works as a social space, with the game area being a place I have met up with friends before.

This is definitely somewhere to visit for anyone who is ever in Liverpool.
