YEADING Library has closed its doors as it undergoes a £750,000 refurbishment.
The library, in Yeading Lane, is due to reopen in October after its facelift, with new books, more computers and a lighter and brighter interior.
There will also be a Starbucks coffee shop in the building.
Henry Higgins, Hillingdon Council cabinet member for culture, sport and leisure, said: “We are bucking the national trend for library closures; where other authorities are closing libraries and reducing services, Hillingdon is investing in making the service even better as we know that our libraries are highly valued by residents.
“We have a commitment to improve all 17 of our libraries by 2014 and the feedback we have received so far about the 11 already completed has been very positive.”
South Ruislip and Hayes End libraries are also being refurbished and will open again later in the year.
