This is the main library in the borough of Waltham Forest

Originally a Carnegie library built about 1906. It nearly burned down in 1982, with the loss of the Russian collection, but survived nonetheless. It underwent a refurbishment reputed to have cost £3.5million in 2006-2007, blending elements of the old Edwardian edifice with architecture which would do credit to the Mall which faces it across the Town Square. Unfortunately a large chunk of books got lost during the redevelopment process. There was a second minor fire in 2008
