    Why We Need Your Support
    The Central Library Development Trust raises funds to complement Manchester City Council’s core commitment to the Library to enable the programming of more events and activities, such as extending its opening hours some evenings and weekends, which it otherwise could not afford to do.

    We are also passionate about supporting the outreach work of Central Library, and Trust funds are used to help develop engagement programmes and events for all sections of the community.
