Newcastle / Lit and Phil
The Lit & Phil is Newcastle’s exquisite independent library, open to all and free to explore and browse. We have a collection of more than 170,000 books (from 16th century tomes to modern fiction), the largest music collection in the North of England. Founded in 1793, its purpose-built library opened in 1825 on Westgate Road, and is just yards from Central Station. It became a hub of learning and enlightenment long before the city’s universities existed and today continues to inspire minds, stimulate imaginations and confer a wealth of knowledge to young and old alike.
