Not sure why I have not done a photograph of this building before, you can see I took it in the spring, no leaves on the trees. In this photo behind the library you can see one of the 2 towers of the Leeds Civic Hall.
This photo shows the Leeds Central Library on The Headrow in the city centre. This is the main public library for the city of Leeds.
The Leeds Central Library is both the central lending library for both fiction and non-fiction as well as housing a specialist Art Library, Music and Audio Library inc DVDs,
The Information Centre has online resources, reference books, newspapers and journals.
Local and Family History Library - The largest collection of books, maps, directories, journals and pamphlets on Leeds and West Yorkshire in the region. This resource would be good for researching your family tree because you can access both Ancestry.com and Origins for free online here.
The Central Library is open daily:

I remember saying maybe 10 years ago that in the future everyone would be able to find their ancestors via the web, and that we also would have a gigantic growing family tree on the Internet but it hasn't happened yet.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building and it's so big!
