A library has reopened after being shut for refurbishment.

Bridlington Central Library, in King Street, welcomed the public again on Monday for the first time since March.

The ground-floor refurbishment includes new lighting, shelving and furniture, as well as a new junior library with a sensory area and a pirate ship bookshelf.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council member Nick Coultish said the aim was to make the library feel like a “vibrant community hub where people of all ages can learn, connect and be inspired”.

He said: ”We’re incredibly excited to welcome the community back and can’t wait for everyone to experience the fantastic improvements we’ve made.”

The council said it would be announcing an upgrade of Bridlington North Library at a later date.
