Western Bank Library is a library at the University of Sheffield located on Western Bank, forming part of the Western Bank Campus.[1] Formerly the Main Library, it is a Grade II* listed building opened in 1959 by Nobel prize-winning poet T. S. Eliot.[2][3] The library was designed and built as a result of a national competition announced by the university in 1953.[4] It was the university's main library until the Information Commons was opened in April 2007. Western Bank Library is linked to the Arts Tower (opened later in 1966) via a bridge between their mezzanine floors. The two buildings are intended to be viewed together according to their architect Gollins Melvin Ward.[5]

The library has 730 study spaces.[6] It is accessed by the ground floor entrance or via entrances on the mezzanine level.[7]
