Anlaby Library as it looks today before it moves to the Sports Centre
As you are no doubt aware, Anlaby Library is to be relocated to the redeveloped Haltemprice Leisure Centre by the autumn of 2014. This raises the question: what should happen to the old building and site in North Street, Anlaby?
The library was housed in an old wooden prefab building for decades, which eventually became unsafe. That’s when, as a councillor, I decided to lead a petition I submitted to the Humberside County Council that replaced it with the current building in the early 1990’s. The land upon which the library is situated was given in Deed of Trust to the local authority on July 9th 1936 by Arthur Stanley Wilson. The site is quite small and is bounded tightly on all sides by housing.
We are very keen to hear your views on what the building or site should be used for.
