“As an inspirational UNESCO City of Literature, Nottingham has a really rich cultural heritage. It is therefore important to have a world class space of international significance where people of all ages can participate in learning opportunities, performances and a range of other activities such as book clubs and author events. It’s also important to have a better, brighter, more attractive and welcoming space which reflects the needs and aspirations of library customers in the 21st century. I hope we can all acknowledge that building a new central library at a time of continuing austerity is a huge challenge. The Central Library has a lot of tradition behind it but it also has a very exciting future, and the development of a new central library will give everyone the chance to be involved with one of the city’s cultural icons.” Sandeep Mahal, Director, Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature.
