 Huddersfield Library is moving to a temporary new space as part of Kirklees Council’s plans to redevelop the town centre.
The Adult's and Children's Libraries, along with the public access computer suite, are moving up the road to the Customer Service Centre building on Market Street. Here they will be co-located with the customer services team. This new temporary library will open in early January 2023.
Kirklees Local Studies Library and Kirklees Transcription Service will be temporarily relocating to premises on Victoria Lane, where they will be co-located with the West Yorkshire Archive Service. These are due to open in February 2023.

The final chapter of Huddersfield Library in the building on Princess Alexandra Walk will be from 9.30 am to 12 noon on Saturday, December 31.
 Kirklees Libraries will be closed at various times over the Christmas and New Year holidays. Opening days and times for each of our libraries can be found on our website at www.kirkleeslibraries.co.uk/locations/
You can also telephone the switchboard on 01484 414868
