In Early October, we were delighted to welcome the Lord Mayor of Leeds Councillor Abigail Marshall Katung to the library. We updated the Lord Mayor on progress of Phase 2 of the Next Chapter project and our vision for the future. Library President Elizabeth Minkin and CEO Nina Corey donned hard hats to show Councillor Marshall Katung round the annex, including the through-floor lift, which will make the library accessible for the first time in its history. Spaces are taking shape, and are starting to look like the rooms we’ve worked hard so hard to design in the plans. Work is expected to be completed early in 2025.
