Birmingham Public Library Central Library

The ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌⁠main library of the Birmingham Public Library system, across from Linn Park downtown, joined to the historic Linn-Henley Research Library that holds the city's archives and Southern history collection. Its calendar is the busiest in the system: author talks, exhibits, workshops, film and children's programs, almost all free.
