Longer opening hours will soon be available at three of our libraries 📚

Between the end of this year and early next year, we're introducing Open Plus technology at Dickens Heath Library, Hobs Moat Library and Balsall Common Library, making them more accessible and flexible community spaces.

Cabinet Member for Communities, Cllr Wazma Qais (pictured) said 💬: “Open Plus will extend opening hours and give people choice of how and when they use their local library, fitting visits in around work, school, families and other commitments."

Staff will continue to be available during normal opening hours to provide advice and support! 🙌

The project is grant funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority.

UPDATE: Olton Library will be closing early today, Thursday 14 August from 1pm. We will be open from 10am on Friday and expect to stay open as usual.
During today's amber warning for extreme heat, we are doing our best to keep the library cool and comfortable for you. However, the building has a lot of glass so it collects heat easily.
For the coolest spaces available in our libraries, The Core Library in Solihull, Shirley Library, and Chelmsley Wood Library all have air conditioning.
