It means the library will be closed for the "foreseeable future"
Last updated 8th Nov 2021
It's been confirmed the main library in Grimsby will be closed for the "foreseeable future" whilst repairs take place.
It follows a routine asbestos survey which identified work needed doing in the foyer area.
It's being stressed it isn't a risk to anyone who's recently been in the library but they needed to address the problems.
In a joint statement, North East Lincolnshire Council and Lincs Inspire said:
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience the closure causes.
“The temporary closure is a precaution following a routine asbestos management inspection where further works have been identified within the main entrance foyer.
“Our regeneration partner EQUANS and contractors have completed air sampling and no risks have been identified that would cause concern to our staff, or customers or partners who use the building.
“An update will be issued when we know more about the timescales for the repairs.
“The Libraries in Cleethorpes, Waltham and Immingham are open as usual along with the online eLibrary service.
