Central Library
As you may be aware, Rotherham Borough Council is carrying out a programme of work to modernise and improve the services we provide to customers, including the opening of a one-stop shop and a Library, Heritage and Arts space at Rotherham's new civic building, Riverside House.
As part of this programme, the Library Service is transferring from its current location at Walker Place to Riverside House, Main Street.
As a result, the last day of opening for public access computers will be Wednesday 14th March.
The last day of opening for all other services here at the Central Library will be Friday 16th March.
You can, of course, access the services at any of our other libraries.
We will open our Library, Heritage and Arts services at Riverside House on Monday 23rd April.
The new opening hours will be:
| From 23rd April | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 8:30am - 7:00pm |
| Tuesday | 8:30am - 5:30pm |
| Wednesday | 8:30am - 5:30pm |
| Thursday | 8:30am - 7:00pm |
| Friday | 8:30am - 5:30pm |
| Saturday | 9:00am - 4:00pm |
We are doing everything we can to minimise disruption to our customers, and have used a variety of means to provide them with the necessary information about the changes. However, if you have further questions, please contact Julie Hird or Elenore Fisher on 01709 823699
