On Monday 24 July 2023, we worked at Central Library on William Brown Street. The sketchbooks include a stack of bound books, faces and views through the library, brought together for the end-of-morning throwdown.

Liverpool Central Library houses the historic Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library, as well as a collection of rare books.
