Library Lift Upgrade Project

We’re giving your library a lift

As part of our ongoing efforts to make your Library more accessible to everyone, a major programme of upgrade to our three main lifts is due to start on Monday 14 July 2025, commencing with the right-hand side lift.

This is a long-term project and is likely to last until May 2027.

We will update this page as the project progresses.

Some noise disruptions will be unavoidable; however, we will keep you updated about which areas of the Library will be affected as the work progresses, and we thank you in advance for your patience while we improve your Library.

 

19 August 2025: the Library lift upgrade project is progressing as planned, and the contractors have very kindly shared with us some images from beyond the hoarding that we thought you might enjoy.
