The "popular" side was occupied by the Free Public Library and took up less than a third of the whole building. Ĭorson's plans included dividing the buildings into a "business" side, which fronted on Calverley Street, and the "popular" side which led onto Centenary Street (now the Headrow). I determined that the new buildings adjacent to the Town Hall would be similar in style to the Town Hall but not identical in treatment. There were 26 entries and the winning architect was a Leeds man of Scottish origin – George Corson. A design competition was held to choose a design for the building. It was intended that various scattered borough departments would be accommodated in the building so that the administration of Leeds would be concentrated in the Municipal Offices and the Town Hall. The building was opened on 17 April 1884 by the Mayor, Alderman Edwin Woodhouse as the Leeds Municipal Offices. The Central Library is a Grade II* listed building and was constructed between 18.
Services available from the building include an Art Library, a Central Children's Library, a Central Lending Library, a Business and IP Centre, Information and Research Library, a Local and Family History Library and a Music Library.
Situated in the city centre, on Calverley Street, it houses the city library service's single largest general lending and reference collection and hosts the Leeds Art Gallery. Leeds Central Library is a public library in Leeds.
