The Library of Cool
The Library’s position on the cool wall has improved slightly this week, thanks to the presence of several members of indie bands Everything Everything, Delphic and Dutch Uncles, who were working with one of our favourite photographers Rebecca Lupton on a photo shoot for Big Issue in the North.
This latest clutch of hipsters can of course be added to our tally of the handsome and talented Liam Fray of the Courteeners, as well as the Daddy of them all, Damon Albarn of Blur, although if we’re talking cool, we might possibly not wish to add Sean Ryder filming his UFO series to this list…
Is there a cooler rare books library? We don’t think so.
