Looking northeast up Alexandra Street towards the railway station, the library can be seen on the right. This is a recreation of the 1925 photo from the Frith collection here: http://www.francisfrith.com/search/wales/west+glamorgan/swansea/photos/swansea_77380.htm Notice how the top part of the library's central tower is now gone. Also a modern tower block is visible behind the library, beyond the junction. I believe this is called Alexandra House.
