Nottingham’s flagship new Central Library opens 28 November 2023! Outside the new library, on the newly pedestrianised tree-lined Collin Street, visitors can enjoy seating, play equipment and markets.
It’s easy to get there by bus or tram. If you’re wondering what the best way to get to the new Central Library is, read on!
