Library of Birmingham: Official opening of £189m building. (BBC, 9/3/2013)
Excerpt: The library has been built to replace the previous Central Library, built in the 1970s, and described by Prince Charles as looking like a place where books would be incinerated rather than read.
The new library houses a collection of 1,000,000 books and also provides 200 public-access computers, meetings room, training rooms, music rooms, and a theater and other performance spaces, and an exhibition gallery. (Meetings rooms price list.)
A more measured, even-handed report.

Meet the library director. (I suppose the main question that comes to mind: Where is the woman dressed in light clothing running off to?)
