Why go
The square is more than a transport interchange. From its open space you can see how Central Library, the Town Hall Extension and the cenotaph relate to one another. It gives useful orientation before visiting an individual building and works as a short outdoor pause between central sights. Allow the surrounding architecture to be the focus rather than counting the square as a substitute for entering the library.
What to look for
- Civic square framed by Central Library and the Town Hall Extension.
- The open space ties together major public buildings and the cenotaph, making it a short orientation stop.
Useful to know
- Walk the square before or after Central Library; building entry follows separate hours.
