Storeys of Stories

It's not common for a library to be opened by one of the biggest bands in the host country, but this library is far from common. On the first floor, you'll find a plaque by the lifts highlighting that the library was opened by the Manic Street Preachers in 2009. The Lord Mayor was also there, but I've not heard his album! The building hosts community events, has 38 computers available (that I could see) for hire, presentation suites, a hub for welfare and benefits advice, housing support, and operates as a warm bank. Distributed over six floors, there are storeys upon storeys of stories.
