Kirklees Libraries

Define description

We are: A world of books, reading and so much more.


Kirklees Libraries have public libraries in 24 locations across Kirklees. Join for free and borrow books, eBooks, eAudio and more. We offer support for people to get online and run events and activities for all ages. We also provide a Home Library Service for residents who find it difficult to get to their local library. You can ring any library on 01484 414868.


As a key cultural venue in a local community, we aim to provide opportunities for children and families to participate in and experience high quality cultural activities. We aim to bring to Kirklees Libraries inspiring artists and practitioners, allowing families extraordinary opportunities at low or no cost. We also work with artists to create programmes to support vulnerable children and young people. We start with books, words and reading and develop programmes which explore finding your voice, developing empathy, supporting aspirations or learning a new skill.


We are a welcoming place for everyone in our communities. A place where people can access local services and advice, learn new skills, immerse themselves in history, sing songs and music with children, knit and natter, socialise with friends, study, meet new people or simply enjoy the daily papers or borrow a book! We provide the facilities and a warm welcome.
