Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Libraries
Coronavirus (COVID-19) We are: Reopening our buildings
As lockdown restrictions ease we are now able to have more libraries open, more time to browse, more books to borrow and more IT access.
Health and safety has been at the heart of preparations as we work hard to make sure visitors, staff and volunteers remain safe as further library services are re-introduced. Controlling the spread of the virus is critical and we are asking visitors to be kind and think of others, continue to wear face coverings if you can, and give each other space. Search for library locations and opening times
You can also continue to access the vast range of e-book and e-audio titles available through our E-Library. A vast array of online groups, activities and resources are all listed in useful resources .
The home library service is also running.
Information
Please note: All Kirklees Libraries will be closed on Friday 15 October for staff training.
