Following the library’s final day on Saturday, staff will begin transferring thousands of books, furniture and other equipment to the new premises, which sits in the heart of the recently pedestrianised city centre.
A special celebratory launch day is due to take place on 12 December, featuring a programme of activities for all ages, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Ian Walker, Bradford Council’s xecutive member for neighbourhoods and communities, said: “This move is a fantastic opportunity to create a more visible, accessible and welcoming library for residents and visitors, right in the heart of the city centre.
“With its prominent location, improved facilities and excellent pedestrian links, the new library will be easier to find and enjoy, while helping to bring even more activity and footfall into this important part of Bradford.”
