LiveWire has announced that Culcheth Library will open again next week.

From the LiveWire website:

Following the recent announcement that Warrington has been placed in Tier 2 when lockdown ends next week, seven library sites across the borough will be reopening from Wednesday 2nd December.

As before, our phased reopening plans centre on the safety of customers and staff, and are aimed at giving customers the confidence to borrow books in a friendly, safe and hygienic manner. 

The libraries reopening are: Great Sankey, Orford Jubilee and Woolston Neighbourhood Hubs, Culcheth, Lymm, Stockton Heath, and Warrington Museum and Library. Burtonwood Library is currently open for Post Office services only but library services will also resume there from 2nd December.

Birchwood, Penketh, Padgate and Westbrook libraries will remain closed at this time.

Customers should please note that Great Sankey, Orford Jubilee and Woolston Neighbourhood Hubs libraries will be Self Service only so members will need to ensure they bring their library card with them to access the library services at those sites. Please note, printing services will not be available at the self service hub sites.

Public Network Computers will be available however pre booking is recommended.

The opening hours of the reopening libraries are not the same as preCovid 19 – so customers should please check the website before visiting.

  • Order and Collect Service
  • Home Library Service
