Step inside The Old Library to see the latest progress on the restoration of this beautiful Grade II listed building.

We're excited to announce that on Saturday 9th November we can enable partial access for the first time to the first floor via our new staircase. Peep out over the 'pod', see where our new helter-skelter will be built & admire our fabulous restored skylights. Plus we'll have members of the Lister Steps team and our contractors H.H. Smith & Sons on hand to answer your questions.

Site will be open from 11am - 3pm and no tickets needed this time, just drop in. At busy times, there may be a short wait to enter the building as access inside is limited. Access is via the pedestrian gate on the corner of Green Lane & Lister Drive, right next to our community mural. Sturdy footwear is essential.

Local history talks evening: Life & The Library in L13

1/10/2019

0 Comments

 
 On Wednesday 16th October, we're hosting a fascinating evening of local history talks all about The Old Library and life in L13 through the years.

You’ll hear from Dr Oriel Prizeman from Cardiff University who is running an international research project looking at how Carnegie libraries around the world are being re-purposed for modern use. We’ll also be joined by Vanessa Oakden from the Museum of Liverpool who led an archaeological dig at The Old Library back in June. She’ll be sharing some of the things we discovered and what we now know about how the area has changed over the last few centuries.

Our fabulous research volunteers will also be sharing what they’ve learnt over the last 12 months, looking at case studies of interesting people who’ve lived and worked in L13, as well as how children have enjoyed, as well as worked in, libraries across Liverpool in the past.

The event kicks off at 6.30pm at St Cecilia’s Club on Green Lane, L13 7DT. Tickets can be purchased in advance from Lister Steps (L13 7HH) for £2 or on the door for £3. For more information, contact Olivia on olivia.johnson@listersteps.co.uk or 07988 778372.
