Loughborough library features an exceptional octagonal main reading room, now used as a Children’s library. The original building also provided a galleried patent library to the rear reflecting the entrepreneurial prowess of the area. Its unique and substantial terracotta turrets are a particular celebration of local craftsmanship and industry.
