A major refurbishment is set to begin at Sale Library.
The transformation will turn the library into a 'state-of-the-art facility' and include a permanent exhibition space for the Cosgrove Hall Films Archive.
To allow work to take place safely, Sale Library will close from Monday, September 15, until Saturday, November 1 2025.
Cllr Eve Parker, Trafford Council’s executive member for leisure, arts, culture and heritage, said: "I am delighted with the news that work is due to start on the refurbishment of this fantastic library.
"We are totally committed to our libraries in Trafford and this will be brilliant for our library users.
"Thank you for your patience and support as we create a vibrant, updated space for the whole community to enjoy."
The improvements, which will affect the library and foyer area on the ground floor of Sale Waterside, are supported by public funding from Arts Council England.
However, the building will remain open for people using the Housing Options Service Trafford, collecting reserved items, or returning books.
Staff and visitors will also be able to access the building during the closure.

Some regular events, such as Storytime, will continue at an alternative nearby location on a limited basis.
Specific details will be shared closer to the time through Trafford Libraries’ website and social media channels.
The public was invited to share feedback during a consultation event in June, with comments helping to shape the final design and décor of the new space.
