Refurbishment of Cruddas Park Library

This library will close for refurbishment on Saturday 8 June 2013 as part of a major redevelopment of the shopping centre by Newcastle College and Your Homes Newcastle. The library is no longer under threat of permanent closure.

Cruddas Park Library will reopen in Autumn 2013 in a bright new space where you will still be able to browse, read newspapers, use a computer, relax and meet friends. We regret the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause. Books can be returned to any Newcastle library or to the Oasis Café in this shopping centre. Your nearest libraries are West End Library and City Library.

Tuesday: 9.30 - 12noon and 1pm - 4.30pm
