Huddersfield Library and Meltham Library will offer a Ring and Read service from April 12.

Visitors will be asked to provide contact details for Test and Trace and must also wear a face covering. Due to limited capacity people may be asked to queue outside.

Any books returned must be placed in green waste bins marked with Kirklees Libraries stickers. Items should not be removed from these bins.

Batley and Ravensthorpe (Greenwood Centre) libraries will remain closed as both are being used as Covid testing centres.

Denby Dale, Kirkburton, Mirfield, Birstall and Cleckheaton libraries are being used as polling stations for the local elections on May 6 so won’t re-open until after the elections.
