A north Liverpool Library that was set to be closed for a 12 weeks refurbishment is finally set to reopen its doors to the public a year later.
Spellow Library on County Road, Walton, closed in February 2022 ahead of a planned refurbishment which would see it fitted out with improved facilities, multi-use spaces and incorporate a community hub. The project, arranged by Liverpool City Council, was said to take 12 weeks with the neighbourhood focal point returning to service in May last year, but delays have seen its reopening date significantly pushed back.
Earlier this year in January there were conflicting reports on when the key community asset would open once again. Council documents said that the library would be open in February, but speaking at a meeting in the same month, Cllr Sarah Doyle, Liverpool Council cabinet member for development and economy, said that she could not provide a fixed day for the library’s return.
