The Art Library is a section in Leeds Central Library that has had some of its own promotion recently so as one who studied art at some point in their lives, I thought I’d check it out. The city centre Library is a beautiful building with a grand staircase and mosaics on the walls.
The Art Library is up a couple of flights and next to the exhibition space. It is lovely and quiet, away from the bustle of the downstair library scene where there is often a que for counter service or to book a computer, groups chatting round a table and the odd dubious looking individual nodding off in a corner.
It has a few racks of cards and postcards for sale and is bigger than I expected it to be. It is a comprehensive library covering a wide range of subjects — there are sections on French painting, art theory, ceramics, architecture and costume.

The art library is well stocked and a pleasant place to browse, with an adjacent room for private study with free internet access. There is also an exhibition room just off the main room which has an eclectic collection that changes regularly. The library sells greetings cards and has regular art exhibits, giving it the feel of a gallery.
Subjects covered by the library include glass, jewellery, furniture and ceramics as well as a large range of books on painting arranged by country. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful so if the size of the collection leaves you confused, just ask.
The art library holds regular craft workshops — a lovely way to gather frequenters of the art library together for a creative sesh. On my last visit there were some impressive examples of quilting.
It’s great that art and design books get their own mini library, as it creates an inspiring space where like-​minded individuals can browse and work together.

Set in the same stunning building as The Central Library built in the late 1800s waits a large section devoted to the arts. Being in this building is wonderful; massive, high ceilings, decorative flooring and wood paneled walls provides, for me, the perfect setting for acquiring more knowledge.
25,000 books on all areas of art and design are available for loan if you have a library card. This will also allow you to access the computers for free internet as well as access to all the online catalogues that the library subscribes to. Sometimes the library hosts workshops such as quilting. The library also boasts a large café at front, exhibitions to the right (as you are facing the building) and a much frequented permanent, outdoor chess-​board at the entrance.
