Manchester Central Library is a circular library next to the extended Town Hall in Manchester, England.

Designed by E. Vincent Harris, it was constructed in 1934, but because of its traditional classical architecture it is often mistakenly thought to be much older. The library building is grade II* listed[1].

The respected Library Theatre Company is located in the basement. The library also incorporates the famous Henry Watson music library.
