Liverpool Central Library

Liverpool Central Library is the largest of the 22 libraries in Liverpool, England, situated in the centre of the city. he library is located in several adjoining historic buildings on William Brown Street. Its first building was the William Brown Library and Museum building which was completed in 1860. At the entrance to the library is a 72 foot granite walkway, inlaid with the titles of literary classics. The titles contain a riddle, a series of letters picked out in red which spell out the title of a small but eye-catching item in the library’s collection. The riddle was included to provoke the interest of visitors, and was presented as a competition at the museum’s re-opening.
