Peterhead Library - temporary relocation

Staff at Peterhead Library are preparing to move to their temporary new location during construction of the new library and Museum of Aberdeenshire centred around Arbuthnot House on Broad Street which is being funded by the UK Government and other external funding sources.

The library will close on Christmas Eve as Live Life Aberdeenshire staff prepare to work over the festive period to relocate to the open space near the soft play area within Peterhead Community and Leisure Centre.

There will be a temporary pause in service provision until the new arrangements are completed – but we expect to be open to customers by mid-January, still offering a very good range of books, DVDs, audio books, local studies materials and reading group collections.

Once relocated we will also continue to provide a range of digital resources including access to computers, printers and photocopying, and will still be hosting our regular community group activities.

Throughout the move and once we’re relocated at the Leisure Centre – you can still reserve books or use Click and Collect.

The library’s relocation will enable us to make improvements to the Carnegie Building on St Peter Street ahead of a new operator taking on the running of the facility as a major new arts and cultural venue for Peterhead.
