The new Devonport Library has been shortlisted for a major international award.
Jon Rennie, a director of Athfield Architects which designed the stylish new building, said it was in the 2015 Public Library of the Year Award, run by the Danish Ministry of Culture.
"What is interesting about the award is that it is not only considering architectural merit but also other, broader, criteria - a nice consideration of both space and operation. We are looking forward to learning the outcome on August 16," Rennie said.
The awards' citation described the entry.
