Library reopens after £1.5m refit

A library in Bradford has reopened to the public after a £1.5m makeover.

Maningham Library, which celebrates its centenary next year, has been refurbished and extended to create a more family-friendly space.

Lottery funding for the refurbishment means the site now has a community garden and space for art exhibitions.

Councillor Anne Hawkesworth said: "The library is already well used by the community and the new library will hopefully encourage more use."
