Bournemouth's distinctive state-of-the-art library was opened in 2002, and its design won the Prime Minister's Award for Better Public Buildings in 2003 (see http://www.betterpublicbuildings.gov.uk/finalists/2003/bournemouth/ ). It relocated from The College on the other side of town (see Image) where it had been since that building was built in 1919.
