Location: In the computer room basement of the Malvern Public Library.
Description: An ornamental water fountain with lighting effects.

There was a charming 21st century water feature in Malvern Library, in the new extension, beneath the stairs where it celebrated Malvern's association with water in all its forms. This modernistic cylindrical stainless steel fountain was incorporated into the lower floor of Malvern's library during its refurbishment and extension, which opened in May 2006. In its favour the fountain was always flowing, and the soft sound of stirring water was very soothing to those working without headphones at the banks of computers. It was quite mesmeric with its changing lights and steady trickle of water.

The new library was such an asset to the town that it won Malvern Civic Society's 2007 Civic Award. Unfortunately the fountain suffered mechanical failure and spillage and was removed early in 2012.
