Nottingham Central Library

Nottingham Central Library closure

Last updated 22/10/2021

Nottingham Central Library, at Angel Row, is closed until we open its replacement library as part of the Broadmarsh area development. We have been working to make our Central Library stock available for public use as much as possible whilst Central library is closed through our reservations (holds) service, and through relocating some materials to other libraries.

To maximize the availability of stock

• Business resources have been relocated to Bulwell Riverside Library to form part of the new Business & IP Centre collection
• Local Studies newspapers on microfilm have been relocated to St Anns Valley Centre Library
• Books in a range of other languages will be relocated to Hyson Green Library in the Mary Potter Centre
• A range of popular music scores will be relocated to Radford Lenton Library where NPALS (Nottingham Performing Arts Library) is based
• Many resources, such as eBooks, eMagazines, eReference, eNewspapers and other libraries digital content are also available to access online through the Nottingham City Libraries website

Unfortunately, as we relocate Central Library’s stock to temporary storage facilities, pending the completion of the replacement Central Library, there will be some small disruption to stock availability over the next few weeks.  We will try to minimise this inconvenience as much as possible and do apologise for any disruption to access this might cause for our users.

Nottingham Local Studies Library Service

The Local Studies Team, which were previously based at the closed Angel Row site, are still offering an enquiry service via email and web resources, please visit the Local Studies and Family History page.  Newspapers on microfilm have been relocated to St Anns Valley Centre Library The British Newspaper Archive and Find My Past are available in other library premises, they can be used on the free computers at any of our available libraries by booking on to a PC
