The layout of the library will be remodelled to include a brand new children’s library and a passenger lift is being installed to help those less able to access the facilities.

The area manager says: “Unfortunately, this does mean that we will have to close the library for a while, but customers may borrow extra items and will be encouraged to use branches across Oxford whilst the work takes place.”

Headington library will be closed from Monday 23rd June until Thursday 3rd July 2014 and will reopen on Friday 4th July.
