Library services update

Library services

Although legal restrictions were lifted on 19 July, Government advice is to continue to be cautious and emphasises the importance of taking personal responsibility.

From Monday 9 August we will start extending the opening hours of our libraries. Those libraries that were offering an Order and Collect service will reopen for browsing and computer access.

To help control the spread of the virus, when visiting Birmingham libraries we ask that you continue to:

  • Wear face coverings
  • Frequently wash hands
  • Be mindful of others’ space
  • Use test and trace when entering library buildings

The following libraries remain temporarily closed:

  • Aston library
  • Kingstanding library
  • Selly Oak Touchbase

Further updates will follow.
