Shakespeare Memorial Room
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shakespeare Memorial Room was a room in the first Birmingham Central Library which housed several early William Shakespeare folio editions. It was designed by John Henry Chamberlain in 1882 and remained in the same building until 1974 when the library was demolished.
The room was dismantled and fitted into the concrete shell of a building which is an extension of the main library alongside the University of Central England music department's Adrian Boult Hall and used for Birmingham Conservatoire concerts. The room now contains the secondary collection of Shakespearean books as the collection is now so large that it can not be completely housed in the room and is mainly used as a small meeting room.
