About Us

Walsall Council has created a flagship, central hub of cultural and social learning. It incorporates the central library, local history and archive collections whilst restoring the Lichfield Street Central Library building back to its former glory and restoring many of its original features.

The Lichfield Street building was remodelled and refurbished, transforming the Grade II listed building to incorporate the local history centre and archives, lending, reference and children’s libraries, a coffee shop and ICT lounge; creating a single leisure, cultural and learning hub. Our libraries offer an open door to information, reading, imagination, learning and culture - enhancing people's lives and supporting the growth and health of our community.
