I planned to write only one blog about Birmingham. Then I saw all the pictures I took from the Central Library and suddenly, vividly remembered the stunning building.
This library - designed by the female Dutch architect Francine Houben - is a librarian's dream come true, and since I'm (still) a librarian, I couldn't resist blogging about this unique building.
The building is stunning, by any standards.
The city has been very brave to build it.
Only trouble is - and that's why the building for us librarians is still a dream - the city council forgot that a building by itself doesn't make a library. You need books. And there's no money left to buy new ones.
So the public is asked to donate.....
