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 has also spent £3,000 on reading material that includes picture books, board books and audio books, as well as popular junior fiction and non-fiction titles.
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.
