Perry Common library

Spring Hill library

The library is closed until further notice due to heating failure.

With the severe cold during early December, temperatures inside the building fell to below 10 degrees. This is being addressed as a top priority, and the library will re-open as soon as heating has been restored. No temporary heating solution can be installed due to the age and current state of the pipework within this building. A feasibility study has been approved to obtain a quote for a new boiler as a matter of urgency.

The Library of Birmingham is less than a mile away from Spring Hill library offering a convenient alternative service for members of the public during the closure.

Progress on restoring heating to Spring Hill Library will be published here as soon as the necessary works have been scheduled.

 

All libraries are closed on Bank Holidays.
