Picton Reading Room - a photo on Flickriver

            Liverpools first Public Library is the Picton Reading Room. The library was opened in 1860 and houses below it a substantial lecture theatre. This was the first public building in Liverpool to have electric lighting and almost certainly the first Library in the country to be lit with electricity. It is interesting to note that a gas supply was also laid on to the Reading Room in case the Electric Lighting proved to be unreliable or inadequate.
