Harrogate Library will be closing shortly to undergo a large scale programme of maintenance.

The venue will close at 4pm on Saturday, January 22, and reopen at 9am on Monday, February 7. We have taken a look back at various events held at the Victoria Avenue building over the last 25 years.

The page includes competitions for primary school children, story-telling initiatives for babies and toddlers, international visits, and presentations by and to Harrogate dignitaries.

Left to right judging the International Peace Poster competition at Harrogate Library are Phil Willis MP, Harrogate Lions President Michael Williams and Harrogate Lions Activities Chairperson Dawn Ramshaw.
