Heritage Open Day Tours at Liverpool Central Library

Join one of our free heritage tours for Heritage Week and learn more about Central library and the historic building it occupies. The tour will guide you through both modern and historic libraries, exploring their history throughout the decades since the library first opened in 1860. There will also be an opportunity to visit the archive search room to see collections relating to William Brown Street and surrounding area, as well as some of the treasures from our Special Collections. The tour will include a visit to our conservation studio, housed within Central Library to learn more about how we look after our collections. There will also be photographs and items belonging to photographer E. Chambré Hardman from the National Trust property Hardmans’ House on Rodney Street.

Tickets are free but must be booked in advance via Eventbrite. Tours are approximately 90 minutes, with a maximum of 25 persons per tour. Please arrive at the main entrance of Central Library 15 minutes before the tour starts.
