The Space

The Writers Room: Situated next to the Reading Room, the Writers Room is a fantastic space for filming or photoshoots, but can also be used as an event space for smaller presentations. Complete with a mezzanine level, it has high ceilings and an airy, modern feel, whilst still keeping some of the Library's traditional charm.

The Writers Room is included with hire of the Reading Room and can only be hired out as an independent space on Friday evenings.
