Ilkley Library

Ilkley Library is to open on Tuesday, 27 May following a refurbishment.
The refurbishment has included new flooring, the installation of a new staff counter, new movable shelving to one side of the library and new computer desking.
This has been funded by an Arts Council England grant.
The new moveable shelving will create a more flexible space to allow for events and meetings to be held in the library.
