A council says it recognises proposals for Hereford library are still subject to funding agreements.
Proposals outline how the library would be "flexible enough" to also hold events, Herefordshire Council saidA town's new library should be located at the Grade II* listed Shirehall, councillors say after rejecting plans to house it in a shopping centre.
The library is temporarily located at Friar Street, after moving out of Broad Street to make way for an £18m museum redevelopment. But Ellie Chowns, Green group leader, criticised the county's Conservative-run administration for "signing a blank cheque for what risks being a white elephant" in the mothballed 19th-Century Shirehall building.
But council leader Jonathan Lester, said: "We are the custodian of this key civic building, and this will give it a purpose in perpetuity."
