    Ripon library will close next month for a nature-inspired refurbishment.

    The library, in The Arcade, will be redesigned with the beauty of the natural world in mind.

    The new children’s area will include decorative shelving and brightly coloured furniture, along with a story wall for children to share their reading experiences.

    North Yorkshire County Council’s libraries manager Chrys Mellor said:

    “Ripon library is always filled with children and families so news of the refurbishment has been welcomed in the community. We are continuing to invest in new reading material for children in many of the county’s libraries to encourage them to support their local branch and start reading from an early age.
    “Unfortunately the library will be closed to the public for a short time but we are doing our best to accommodate users. Loans will be extended over the closure period and arrangements have been made to cover home library service deliveries.”


    The library will close for refurbishment at 2pm on Saturday, May 14. From Monday, May 23, it will reopen except for the children’s area, which will be temporarily moved to another space.

    The library will operate its full services from Monday, May 30.

    The nearest alternative libraries are Boroughbridge community library, Knaresborough library, Harrogate library, Mashamshire community library, and Nidderdale Plus community library.
