Keighley Library is undergoing a refurbishment. Work on the North Street premises will include redecoration and a new layout in the lending library. The lending library will close for about three weeks, from Thursday March 13, for work to be carried out. A ‘click and collect’ lending library service will operate, accessible via the Spencer Street entrance. Funding for the refurbishment has been provided through a grant from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

For those who wish to access Local Studies collections during the period of refurbishment of Keighley Lending Library, a reduced service will be in place.

On Thursday March 13th and Friday March 14th Keighley Local Studies Library will offer an appointments service only to visitors who need to access publications and original records for their research.

Collections Week

From the week beginning Monday 17th March, Keighley Local Studies Library will be closed completely for one week for essential collections work.

During this time, the team will respond to urgent enquiries via email only.

The week’s closure will enable work to be carried out on a section of the collection of Local Authority material held by the Local Studies Library Archives.

Appointments Service

On Tuesday 25th March the appointments service will resume. This will last for the duration of the refurbishment work which is expected to last for about three weeks.
Visitors will be required to book their visit in advance to use the appointment service
