Important information: Temporary closure of libraries and archives

Please be aware that to help protect you and others during the coronavirus outbreak we have taken the decision to temporarily close all libraries in the Borough of Bury and Bury Archives. Also, we've had to put a hold on the home delivery service for the time being.

Please understand this decision is necessary to help protect the vulnerable and minimise the spread of coronavirus.

For more information on this and details of how to join the library online to access electronic resources please see our news item.
