How to find us
We are located in the [redacted] shopping centre in central [redacted].
There are numerous entrances to the library throughout the shopping centre, all of which are glass doors between the other businesses. All entrances are illuminated at night. To the right of the doors will be a sign that reads LLL with a keypad and a buzzer; please hold down the buzzer and ask to enter the Library of Lost Lives. The Library will let you in.
You can also email us at libraryoflostlives@protonmail.com to arrange for someone to show you how to access the library.
A map of the entrances on the ground and first floor of the [redacted] Centre is provided below. There are lifts next to all staircases.
Our collections are housed on the floors above the shopping centre, which you can access through the entrances on the ground and first floors only.
Guidance for visiting the library
We strongly recommend that you visit our library with a friend, family member, colleague or other acquaintance to avoid becoming lost. However, we understand that many people who use our library do so alone, so advise that you follow the provided guidance below to minimise the risk of becoming lost.
- Tell a friend, family member or other acquaintance where you are
- If you cannot tell someone where you are, introduce yourself to one of our volunteers upon entering the library
- Use our sign in/out sheets when entering and leaving the collections
- Wear a watch and/or carry another timekeeping device that does not require signal
If you are considering going into the library alone to become lost on purpose, please speak to one of our volunteers. We are always here to listen.
