Sutton Coldfield library
- Advance notice
-
Following the cabinet decision on 11 February to transform the library services, Sutton Coldfield’s town centre library will close on 27 June.
This is due to significant investment required to address the condition of the building and associated Health and Safety concerns.
The closure of the Town centre library located in the Red Rose shopping centre also allows Birmingham City Council with partners to progress the redevelopment of the Red Rose shopping centre as a priority for the transformation of the Sutton Coldfield Town Centre.
Cabinet Member for Digital, Culture, Heritage & Tourism Cllr Saima Suleman said:
We remain committed to providing a library service across Sutton Coldfield and will continue to work with partners for the continuation of Boldmere and Walmley libraries, in addition to services at Mere Green Library.
The mobile library service will also continue to serve the area providing access for those impacted by the closure.
Residents in Sutton Coldfield can continue to access the 24-hour online service, citywide book reservation service, self-service, Library Services at Home, and digital library offering.
We remain open to exploring future partnership opportunities as they arise across the City.
More information about the Sutton Coldfield mobile library stop will be available soon, including dates, times and location.
