What’s happening?
We’re enhancing and upgrading some of our libraries to create improved community spaces where customers can seek warmth and access wider support this winter.
This includes:
- A more open and flexible layout for community use.
- A modernised or refreshed children’s area with vibrant furniture and better facilities for reading, playing, and activities.
Support during closure:
No overdue fees will be charged for items due back during the closure.
Access our digital library services.
