BROAD Street's legions of fun-seekers could soon be rubbing scantily-clad shoulders with an altogether more serious set...bookworms.
An area just off Centenary Square has been earmarked as the site for Birmingham's long-awaited new Central Library.
We are delighted that after years of indecision, the city council finally seems to have drawn up firm plans.
Paradise Forum and the current Central Library are a mess – a throwback to the sort of 1960s architecture that gave town planners a bad name.
A city such as this needs a functional, up-to-date and welcoming library.
Fingers crossed we will soon get just that.

Close all the lap-dancing clubs down, and me, my friends and our hard earned money might come back to nights out in Broad St.
It's all gone fat too cheap and tacky

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
