Lister Steps at The Old Library

Lister Steps at The Old Library Community, Events Venue, Cafe, Childcare Since 1905, The Old Library has been a symbol of hope in L13.

Funded by wealthy philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, this iconic building was donated to the people of Liverpool as a safe space for learning and served four generations as a much-loved local library until it closed & fell into disrepair in 2006. With so many fond memories of The Old Library, local charity Lister Steps knew this special building was an important part of our community’s shared heritag

e and in 2012, we embarked on the long journey to bring it back to life. Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and support from Liverpool City Council, we have repaired, restored & re-designed the building into a multi-use venue for events, learning and fun. We are proud to call The Old Library our new home and thrilled to welcome you back through its doors!

Andrea Ku is a Liverpool-based artist, beekeeper and gardener who creates hands-on projects connecting people with nature, climate action and sustainability through walking, talking, planting, making and seasonal learning rooted in care for communities and the natural world.🌳🌱🌼

Artist Andrea Ku will lead a seasonal programme where people come together to talk, walk, make, laugh and plant in response to climate change and sustainability. Each session will follow the rhythm of the year, from seeds and soil to flowers, food, wildlife and weather. Through creative activities, outdoor exploration, shared discussion and Andrea’s playful use of comedy, participants will explore climate issues in a practical, hopeful and accessible way. The programme will connect people with local nature, encourage sustainable choices and show how small acts of care — planting, making, noticing, laughing and sharing knowledge — can help communities imagine and grow a more resilient future.🌷🌺☘️🌼🌱🌳
