Libraries across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire will close for staffed services during the upcoming Easter bank holiday weekend in 2026. Gloucestershire Libraries has confirmed that facilities will be unstaffed on Good Friday (3 April), Saturday (4 April), and Easter Monday (6 April).
Although staff will not be present, people registered for the self-service entry system can still use specific library buildings. These sites will remain open from 07:00 to 18:50 on Good Friday and Easter Monday for those who have signed up to use the facilities independently.
Regular opening times with staff available to help residents will resume across the county on Tuesday 7 April 2026. This allows the local library service to follow traditional holiday breaks while still providing some access to books and resources for the community.
