Library Service Provision in Wood Green to Temporarily Move

Library services are due to temporarily close in Wood Green from Monday 8 December 2025 for essential maintenance and fire and building safety works.

 

The Customer Service Centre will stay fully open throughout the project along with Eat Wood Green, Haringey Learns and Haringey Works.

 

Works include repairs to the passenger lift, water system, ceilings, service cupboards water supply and alarms.

 

The partial closure will ensure the facility continues to comply with relevant fire, health and building safety regulations, ensuring the ongoing safety of all residents who use the library and other services in the building.

 

These works are due to be completed in April 2026 and we apologise for the disruption and inconvenience this may cause. If it is possible for us to reopen some sections of the library before then, we will do so.

 

The council has secured alternative space in the former Clarendon Recovery Centre – a short walk away in the N22 area to allow local people continued access to quiet study areas. Newspapers will be available to read and library users will also be able to return and collect reserved items from there. This will be a warm space open to people of all ages, with a particular focus on providing quiet study space for young people preparing for exams. This is expected to be up and running in the New Year.
