    Harrogate library will close on Saturday for just over a fortnight to enable large-scale maintenance work to be carried out.

    The project, which involves all three floors, includes remedial damp works, redecoration and the replacement of energy-efficient lighting.

    The building will close at 4pm on Saturday and is scheduled to reopen at 9am on Monday,  April 4. Customers will be able to borrow additional books to cover the closure period.

    North Yorkshire County Council, which is responsible for libraries, announced the news today.

    Neil Irving, assistant director for policy, partnerships and communities at the council, said:

    “These much-needed improvements will have lasting benefits to Harrogate library; one of our largest and busiest in the county.
    "We apologise for the inconvenience it will cause to library visitors but we are encouraging people to come and borrow a selection of books to keep them going over the closure period.”
