The ground floor of the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library in Norwich has been shut after its glass entrance door shattered.

The ground floor of the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library in The Forum has closed following damage to the glass door at the library entrance. One staff member suffered minor cuts in the incident. The library announced the closure on social media and postponed all events scheduled for the ground floor on 21 October, saying it would keep the public updated. The first and second floors of the library remain open to visitors.

The closure comes just months after the library, which is run by Norfolk County Council, reopened following a £1.3 million refurbishment. The improvements included a new bookshop-style entrance, increased study space, a redesigned early years library, dedicated areas for children and teenagers, improved accessibility, enhanced lighting and new charging points. The library, which is visited by one million people a year, is marking its 25th anniversary this year.
