In Newcastle's construction

摘要

Newcastle City Library was one of the first in a wave of new civic libraries built over the past six years, followed by Liverpool and Birmingham, with Manchester to complete in Spring 2014. At the opening of Ryder Architecture's 60-year anniversary exhibition in the City Library, their client - the library is one of its buildings - described how within five minutes of opening, there was a man on the sixth floor deep into researching his family tree. The library's previous best visitor numbers was 750,000 a year, but the new one had 1.1 million in its first year, settling to about 930,000.
