We apologise that all our Libraries including the Lichfield Street Hub (Central Library & Archives) are temporarily closed as of 2pm Thursday 19^th March 2020.

Walsall Council has made this decision on a local level until further notice.

We are closing on the basis of the social distancing guidelines, to protect our customers and staff. Closing also allows our staff to be available to support the council’s key priorities during this challenging time.

You do not need to do anything, and we thank you for your understanding and patience during this very busy time for our hard-working team.

During this period of closure, we’ll be regularly updating our website and social media.

If you have books to return while we are closed, please check out the Returning your book article.

Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Our Libraries and Archives in the near future
