If it makes you feel better the library building demolished in 2015 didn’t mean the end of the library. The library moved to a new and improved building.

Well, in a post like this some additional info wouldn’t have been out of place (winks at op):
- it’s not national
- the building from the first panel burned down
- the building from the second panel opened in 1974, had nicely functional interior, but was deemed unsafe at least by 2011 due to the construction techniques used (there was pubic outcry both towards how ugly it was & later to preserve it, the latter endeavour obviously being unsuccessful bcs rubble)
- the new one opened in 2013 & it’s better

Initial use of the library was so heavy that the need for an extension was agreed in 1872 but deferred until 1878. On 11 January 1879 a fire broke out behind a wooden partition serving as a temporary wall during building operations. The fire caused extensive damage, with only 1,000 volumes saved from a stock of 50,000.
