Last updated 3rd Aug 2021
Stamford 's Public Library is to close for the next several months for essential roof repairs.
The Grade II listed building will shut its doors on September 13 and, if all goes to plan, will reopen in early January 2022.
There are also further repair works planned, though its thought these won't require the building to be closed.
The team in charge of the library will be running a Click and Collect service from the Stamford Day Centre on Ryhall Road while the main site is temporarily closed.
People will also be able to borrow more items than the usual limit while the building is closed, and return dates for items on loan will also be extended.
Cllr Lindsey Cawrey, from Lincolnshire County Council, said:
"We're sorry for the inconvenience this essential work may cause but it is necessary to protect the library building for years to come."
"As well as the Click and Collect service we would encourage customers to use the library services extensive online resources, which include free access to thousands of ebooks, eaudiobooks, emagazines and enewspapers."
