Keighley Library Update
The library was re-opened on 17 March 2007, it has been wonderfully and sympathetically restored to its former glory both internally and externally.

The leaded windows at the front are truly magnificent after removal of their plastic protective coverings - let's hope they can be left this way.

I am sure you will all be thrilled to see the library back and fully functioning once again,

Pauline and all the staff in the Local Studies Library are happy to help you in any way possible.

Please note in many cases 24 hours notification is required to obtain many special collections.
