The utilitarian grace of the 1960's Hornsey Library matches well the 1930's Town Hall tower, looking like a secular bell tower, behind it. Although the library was recently refurbished the roof now requires work and inside the windows one can just see the internal scaffolding put up for this purpose. The library remains open during this work and is a go to place for students.
