FOUR companies are competing for the contract to create a new world-class Central Library in Liverpool.
The city council launched a Europe-wide search earlier this year for a development partner for the £50m PFI project.
The building on William Brown Street has gradually fallen into disrepair over many decades and suffers from problems such as damp.
The new look library will include a new home for the Liverpool Record Office, titled Liverpool Memories. It will also house some of the city’s most historic treasures from the last 800 years.
