Roof Work Means Temporary Closure for Tyldesley Library

Essential maintenance work to Tyldesley Library will mean the temporary closure of the facility for one week from Monday 30th October.

Work will be carried out to repair the library’s roof and make general improvements to the children’s section of the library. The work is estimated to take between five and seven weeks, however the library will only close for one week and is planned to re-open on Monday 6th November.

Joyce Peat, Community Libraries Officer, said, “Although this closure will disrupt the library service in the short-term it will be hugely beneficial to our customers. Tyldesley Library is housed in a Victorian building and as such we need to keep on top of the maintenance to ensure the best quality of service is provided to our customers.”

Customers with books due back during the closure period will have their fines waived. However, books can be returned to any library or mobile library or can be renewed online at www.wlct.org/libraries.

Services at nearby Atherton Library and Leigh Library will remain in operation during the closure period at Tyldesley. For further information please contact Tyldesley Library on 01942 404817.
