My first thought on seeing this building was that it's a church. It is Canton library, on the corner of Cowbridge Road East and Library Street, one of 20 libraries run by Cardiff Council. The library is one of two Carnegie libraries in the city. The other one is in Cathays. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/371072 A Carnegie library is one built with money donated by Scottish-American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. More than 2,500 Carnegie libraries were built worldwide, including about 660 in the UK.
