Kirkheaton Library currently receives five paid staff support per week. Our volunteers step in at other times to open and run the service at the Community Centre.
The Friends of Kirkheaton library need your support to ensure
that the library at Kirkheaton Community Centre continues to be
staffed and funded by Kirklees Council.
We are very concerned that at the Kirklees Council meeting on 20th
February 2024, a proposal was put forward to turn Kirkheaton
Library into a Community Managed Library, withdrawing financial
support for rent and qualified staff. We believe that the proposal
is neither viable nor sustainable.
