Lift out of order
We are sorry, but the public lift is currently unavailable at Burnley central library.
The lower ground floor is still accessible via the stairs only.
If you wish to view material or stock which is normally available on the lower ground floor, please contact us to make an appointment so that we can arrange to make the items available in the main lending library on the ground floor.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 3 March 2025
