'A turn up for the books' - Stockroom marks quarter of a million visitors milestone

Stockroom, Stockport’s new library and events space, has welcomed a whopping 250,000 visitors since opening in May.

Downstairs, there’s a café, events space, fiction section, and a children’s zone, while the upper floor houses non-fiction, archives, and another events area.
