From Fire Station to Library | Birmingham News
Description
A century-old Birmingham fire station, once Fire Station 23, has been reborn as the Inglenook Branch Library — a living monument to community resilience. Saved in 1979, it now buzzes with modern tech, free Wi-Fi, job help, and extended hours, thanks to librarian Tonya Clarke’s vision. The original bell still hangs in the window, a nod to its fiery past, while today’s patrons find books, laptops, and hope inside these historic walls — proving that libraries aren’t just for reading anymore.
