    This might sound completely from left field, but I like 'Barnsley Library'.

    That or Buck Reid.

    What's up with calling it Barnsley Library.

    I think it's because it's supposed to be more than just a library and the library will be called he library at...

    Simply because of its design and where it is situated I think the best name is the beacon.

    The lightworks will get confusing with the glassworks being directly opposite.

    The meeting place doesn't sound like a name it sounds like a description.

    So it comes down to the lightbox or the beacon and with the library being a large part it sounds better as beacon instead of lightbox. The library at the lightbox sounds a bit too many L's.
    I also like the idea of it being the beacon lighting the town square

    You don't have to use the 4 options, you can add your own. If you prefer 'Barnsley Library' then vote for it!

    This feels like deja vu starring BS Ben's badges.

    Whatever it will be called folks will still call it Barnsley Library. Why the need for stupid trendy names dreamed up just to try to impress the loose-jawed minority?

    Of those it has to The Beacon. That actually sounds quite decent.
