THE OLD LIBRARY ? PROJECT RE LAUNCH
START ON SITE 2019 FOR TUEBROOK GEM, LISTER DRIVE, LIVERPOOL.
Work to transform the Grade II listed Andrew Carnegie Library in the Tuebrook area of Liverpool will commence at the beginning of 2019. The building, now in a state of disrepair, will be transformed into a new community hub offering childcare, rentable meeting space, hotdesking, heritage activities, an events venue and a wide range of training and volunteering opportunities for local people.
The OMI Architects designed project can go ahead with thanks to the generosity of National Lottery players, with £3.9 million from The Heritage Lottery Fund in 2016, the project has also received financial support from Liverpool City Council, The Hemby Trust, Eleanor Rathbone foundation, Key Fund and Power to Change. Tenders are currently being sought from contractors, with an expected start on site early in the new year.

The local Tuebrook community is the reason for the building?s existence and the library was still in active use until 2004. The local community will continue to be essential to the future of the building?s success...
