Next Chapter Fundraising appeal
Our vision is to be a thriving creative hub for the people of Leeds and beyond, providing a space for the production, study and enjoyment of all forms of creativity, and to open our doors and collections to as many people as possible.
The Next Chapter Project will see the Library expand from its current premises into the neighbouring building, enabling us to return over 20,000 books to the shelves, and providing a fully accessible and contemporary space to welcome visitors old and new.
Project – The Next Chapter
Our members have already played an integral role in the delivery of the Next Chapter Project, for which we are so thankful. Now, as our contractor gets started onsite, we are asking if you can help to get us over the line and raise the final funds required that will enable us to kit out the spaces in number 15 and ensure we are open and operational as soon as possible.
Project – Heating System
Upgrading our heating system before the winter really is vital. In addition to ensuring that members and visitors to the Library remain warm and comfortable during the colder months, we take our responsibility as a major cultural institution in Leeds seriously, and want to play our part in reducing carbon emissions. The solution from our specialist advisors is an air-to-air heat pump, which is the most efficient solution for the Library, both in terms of long-term cost and carbon emissions.
If you feel able to support either project with a donation, we would be so very grateful. You can give to a specific project, or alternatively, you can make an unrestricted gift which we can use where the need is greatest this year. Whatever you can give will make a difference.
