Built in 1914, this was the first of three libraries designed by the City Architect, Henry Price, and paid for out of the deep pockets of Andrew Carnegie. "Each [Chorlton, Didsbury and Withington] was built in a different style but in the same general plan of a wedge or fan shape". Grade II listed.
