Moss Side Powerhouse Library
If this is Manchester’s coolest local library it’s because the local teenagers who use it also designed it. The interior is filled with vibrant, bold colours, furnishings and fabrics, a perfect setting for picking up a book or using our free wifi.
Based in a purpose built youth centre and offering a range of graphic novels, teen fiction, and books for young mums and dads. This library also values people of all ages. The knitting group and the raised-bed community garden out the back are for all to enjoy.
