A floor to ceiling glass wall separates the new library from what was the fiction area of the old library. This will become the exhibition space. The original columns, parquet floor, entrance doors and window frames have all been retained. Anyone who steps into this section will recognise all the familiar features of the old library but brought to life as we've never seen them before. It was almost impossible to see the windows in the latter years of the library. Shelves obscured the windows from inside and ivy and shrubs from outside.
