  William Brown Library and Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The William Brown Library and Museum is a Grade II* listed building situated on the historic William Brown Street in Liverpool, UK.
The William Brown Library and Museum building was conceived as a replacement for the Derby Museum (containing the Earl of Derby's natural history collection) which then shared two rooms on the city's Duke Street with a library.
With Liverpool being one of the country's key ports, much of the city was badly damaged by German bombing during the Second World War and William Brown Library and Museum were no exception.

William Haywood Brown (Willie), son of William Haywood Brown, Sr., and Eleanor Harrison Brown was born October 12, 1843, in Perrysville, Indiana (Vermillion County).
William was probably enticed to enter the 11th Indiana Regiment because family friends, John Charles “Charley” and William Black, had become members of the Regiment (there were apparently other Danville, Illinois, residents who enlisted in the 11th Indiana Regiment, as well).
Brown’s brother, Thomas Reeves Brown, was a member of the “Fremont Rifles,” having formally enlisted from Danville, Illinois, on August 18, 1861 and mustered in on September 18th.

In its traditional sense, a library is a collection of books.
However, with the collection or invention of media other than books for storing information, many libraries are now repositories and/or access points for maps, prints or other artwork, microfilm, microfiche, audio tapes, CDs, LPs, video tapes and DVDs, and have facilities to use CD-ROM databases and the Internet.
Thus, modern libraries have been redefined as places to get access to information in any format, whether it is stored inside the building or not.
