Temporary closure of Wednesbury library
We will be temporarily closing Wednesbury Library for three weeks while urgent building work is carried out.
The library in Walsall Street will be closed from Monday 5 October 2026 to allow specialist contractors to carry out essential asbestos removal work inside the building.
We want to reassure everyone that there is no risk to current or previous library users, staff, neighbouring businesses or members of the public.
