Manchester Central Library

The Manchester Central Library is the main library in town with a massive collection and an impressive architectural style implementing several design traditions. It's a Grade II Listed Building, so it's remarkably well-preserved, letting you see its design at its best.

All sorts of people can enjoy this library, though the attractions for kids are a bit limited. Most of the collection within isn't oriented towards children, though people interested in history will find a fascinating collection of works to explore. Most people spend about an hour or 2 here, but if you find something you want to read, there's nothing stopping you from spending all day within.
