The old prefabricated building housing the Anlaby Library in North Street will be transferred to the soon to be refurbished Haltemprice Leisure Centre. The £6M project will put it at the forefront of leisure facilities in the UK, which has received backing from Anlaby with Anlaby Common and Kirk Ella Parish Councils, the Environment Agency and Sport England. The project is scheduled for completion in 2014.
Prior to the prefab, Anlaby Library was housed in an old wooden building with sloping floors that became unsafe. Through an Anlaby led petition, Humberside County Council replaced the building in the early 1990’s with the prefab.
The land on which the library is situated was given in Deed of Gift to the County Council on the 9th July 1936 by Arthur Stanley Wilson.
Further information may be obtained from the Legal Dept. of E.R.Y.C.
