Libraries are the ❤️ heartbeat of our lives. We're loving this miniature recreation of the former Crumpsall & Cheetham Library as it was in 1950s for a library lover who met her husband there @macinnes_neil @MancLibraries @GMLibraries @cilip @libsconnected

Sara Cox and the team recreate a derelict library in Manchester, restoring it to its former glory in miniature and capturing the beautiful love story that began there.

Great to see this ahead of our 175th anniversary Oct celebration of Public Libraries Act with Manchester proud to be first library to open under this historic legislation. Moss Side Library 1925 signage looks like a pub - something in that...? @libsconnected @Literacy_Trust
