Leeds Library bosses have hailed an “exciting time” for the venue, after submitting expansion plans to the city council.
The historic and much-loved library, on Commercial Street in the city centre, revealed earlier this year it had bought the premises next door, which was occupied by camping and outdoors shop Trespass until 2020.
The library wants to expand sideways into the upper storeys of the property as part of a £1.2m scheme, though the ground floor of the unit could still be let out to a retailer.
