what would you like to do today?
Burley Library reopened with a limited library service on Tuesday 21 July 2020.
The new introductory opening times are:-
Mondays 10 am to 1 pm (from 7 September)
Tuesdays 2 pm to 5 pm
Fridays 2 pm to 5 pm
Saturdays 10 am to 1 pm
You can now order books from 19 Bradford Libraries that are currently open including Burley Library. These are Menston, Silsden, City, Ilkley, Keighley, Shipley, Addingham, Baildon, Bingley, Clayton, Eccleshill, Heaton, Laisterdyke, Manningham, Queensbury, Thornton, Wibsey and Wyke. You can order online here through Renew/Reserve, by emailing the library on Burley Library, through the contact form or by telephoning the library on 01943 863714.
You can also return any books you have borrowed from either Burley Library or any other library in the Bradford District. However, there is no need to rush back as fines are still currently suspended.
We will also be offering a home delivery service in the local area if you do not want to come to the library for any reason, are unwell or self-isolating. Access will be to the foyer only for the collection and return of books. Returned books will be quarantined for at least 72 hours so they will not immediately come off your account. (One household only permitted in the foyer at any one time) You will not be able to access the main building or use the computers, printing or photocopying facilities. We realise that many of you may be disappointed by this limited service but we will do our best to meet your requests and hope to open access to more services as the Coronavirus threat lessens. Please wear a face covering if you are visiting the library unless you are exempt, and do not visit if you are unwell.
Maddie will be back with virtual Tuneful Tuesdays (Story Bees) on Zoom from Tuesday 8 September at 9.30 am. This will be a similar event to the one she ran in the library over the last 3 years and will run term time only. It is free of charge but you will need to contact the library for access codes.
