Sheldon library
Sheldon library will be closed on Wednesday 24 April and Saturday 27 April 2024. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Spring Hill library
The library is closed until further notice due to issues with the building. Due to the age and current state of the pipework in the building, a new heating solution is required. A feasibility study has been approved to obtain a quote for a new boiler.
The Library of Birmingham is less than a mile away from Spring Hill library, offering an alternative service for members of the public during the closure. Progress on opening Spring Hill Library will be published here as soon as the necessary works have been scheduled.
