Grimsby Central Library has been forced to close temporarily after water leaked onto the premises following a period of rainfall overnight this week.North East Lincolnshire Council said an inspection revealed urgent remedial work was needed and the service would be "relocated as soon as possible".Both the authority and operator Lincs Inspire have apologised for "any inconvenience".The council was to spend £4.2m on refurbishing the library but in January, a North East Lincolnshire Council meeting revealed most of the money earmarked on the revamp had been spent on the town's Freshney Place development.
People have been urged to use services at Cleethorpes Library, Immingham Library, and Waltham Library and the online facility continues to be available.Those who are due to return books have been asked to drop them off at an alternative branch until a suitable arrangement has been confirmed.Lincs Inspire is working with the Credit Union to ensure its continued service, the authority has said.
