Map of entry points around the library
Following the suggested barricade plan for Wyke Hills the library should be barricaded to VS+2 at most. The Alner Library and the Howlett Hotel are separate from the main free running network in Wyke Hills, so this building provides access to the Howlett Hotel which in turn should be kept at EHB for maximum safety. For discussion of the barricade policy see Talk:Barricade_Plan_of_Wyke_Hills.
Reference Section
The Alner Library was the first to be built in Wyke Hills, and is one of the oldest within the city. Contrary to popular belief the library has no link to the Alner Family or Alner Place School, predating their presence in Malton by several decades. The impressive reference section was not part of the original building; after substantial structural damage in 1942 the library was rebuilt and expanded. The façade remains as it was in the late seventeenth century, and is Grade II listed - however most of the rest of the building is modern.
