Library to reopen as £3.3m revamp continues
Cumberland CouncilA library is set to partially reopen while major renovation work continues.
Carlisle Library shut at the end of January when a year-long £3.3m revamp got under way.
Cumberland Council has now confirmed one floor of the building will reopen on Monday, while a second will remain closed for refurbishment.
Meanwhile, the Adult Learning Service has relocated to the Civic Centre in Carlisle where services continue as usual.
As work continues, requests will still be processed and the Borrowbox app and other digital library services remain available.
The work is being funded by the government as part of a £19.7m Town Deal programme.
Designs include a children's zone, new study spaces and adult learning classrooms.
The council advised users that construction work will continue for the next 10 to 12 months and "some noise and disruption should be expected".
