The improvements have been made to create a brighter, flexible library with a brand new IT area and community area available for people to use.

The children's library has been moved to the font of the building in a larger, brighter area with better facilities for children and families.

The library secured £200,000 from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media as well as being back by £250,000 investment from the North Yorkshire Council.
