The Council have issued the first options for changes to the library service. This includes potentially very significant changes for Cleckheaton Library.
In the first option, there will only be 2 libraries one at Huddersfield and the other at Dewsbury. Under this option Cleckheaton Library would close.
in the second option, there is a proposal to move the Library to part of the Town Hall. The result, if this is ever allowed to happen, would be an empty library building. This is a listed ie protected building and the land and building was a gift to the town from a notable and generous Cleckheaton family. The space available in the Town Hall is, in any case, inadequate to house the current books, computers, and activities on offer.

Cleckheaton councillors have launched a petition which can be signed online at http://signme.org.uk/989

We can email or post out a paper petition.

Please help to keep our much loved library.
