Hornsey Library's adults' section will close from November 27 for repairs to reinforced aerated concrete in the roof.

Haringey Council has announced that the adults' library at Hornsey Library will close from November 27 for strengthening and repair work to the RAAC roof. The closure is expected to last until spring 2027. Other parts of the building, including the children's library, original gallery and quiet study space, will remain open throughout the works.

Key services such as book returns, public computers and a selection of books will be relocated to other areas within the building.

A council spokesperson apologised for any disruption and said the improvement works are intended to preserve the historic character of the library.
