Highgate Library is to reopen in early 2024, when residents can look forward to improved and more accessible library facilities in the west of the borough.
The library closed in February to undergo major refurbishment, which includes installing a new lift and accessible toilet, new bespoke lighting, new furniture, interior redecoration and a reconfigured floorplan.
The library was originally scheduled to reopen in autumn 2023. The delayed reopening comes after the council made some changes to the designs following resident feedback.
Muswell Hill Library also remains closed while improvement works take place. Works are on schedule and the library is set to reopen in spring 2024 as planned.
During these closures, Muswell Hill Library and Highgate Library users can access library services, at nearby Alexandra Park Library (Alexandra Park Rd, N22 7UJ), Hornsey Library (Haringey Park, N8 9JA) or online.
Young people preparing for exams are advised to use Hornsey Library, which has a larger quiet study space.
Alexandra Park Library reopened in February following similar improvement works.
This is all part of Haringey Council’s major investment programme which has been investing over £4.9 million in libraries across the borough over a four-year period.
