The library was shut down nearly two years ago due to budget cuts
A library could reopen “in the next couple of weeks” nearly two years after it closed due to budget cuts. In 2022, nine libraries were closed by Wirral Council including Wallasey Village library. Following the decision to close it, neighbours, volunteers, a nearby primary school, a café, and Wallasey councillor Ian Lewis came together to form a new charity that would take the building over and run it for at least the next 25 years.
My children used to come in here and read books and all of that was gone. It’s so important to learn to read books.” An update on the library, other buildings and golf courses the council decided to try and hand over into community groups came at a tourism, communities, culture, and leisure committee meeting on September 19. One councillor previously criticised the length of time it has taken for some handovers to take place.
