Todmorden Library will be impacted for several months whilst work takes place to replace part of the building’s roof. To allow for the start of work, the library will be fully closed from Monday 17 February 2025, whilst staff reset the space.
The library will reopen on Saturday 22 February. However, there will be a reduced service, with a smaller than usual selection of book stock and a limited amount of study space. There will also be reduced heating and some of the works could be noisy. The works are scheduled to be complete in summer 2025.
The library computers will still be available, and customers can access stock from other libraries, using the free reservation service. A range of free digital library services, including eBooks, can also be accessed on the Council’s website, 24/7.
The accessible entrance to the library will be out of use from Friday 14 February and throughout the works period. During this time, a click and collect service will be available from inside Todmorden Market Hall, which will allow those who can’t access the library to reserve and collect items from a more accessible location. The opening hours here will be Wednesday and Friday from 10am to 3pm and Saturday from 10am to 1pm.
