Bradford Central Library closed due to fire risk
Bradford's main library has been closed after being identified as a fire risk.
A routine inspection revealed improvements were needed in the safety standards in Bradford Central Library, which is housed in a 1960s tower block.
Work to increase the number of fire doors and enclose the building's stairwell has started.
Bradford councillor David Green said: "The building will be closed for four days and open again at the end of the week."
Mr Green added: "We are determined that the library will continue to be there to provide a service."
The library also includes the city's archive.
During 2010-11 more than 238,000 books were loaned out by library staff.
The building in Prince's Way is eight storeys high but most of it is not open to the public.
