Residents in Royal Leamington Spa should plan ahead for the upcoming Spring bank holiday weekend, as Leamington Spa Library will be closed to the public on Sunday 24 May and Monday 25 May 2026.
The library, which is based inside the historic Royal Pump Rooms, is managed by Warwickshire County Council. Under the council’s standard policy, all libraries it operates are closed on bank holidays, and the service remains shut on the Sunday immediately preceding any bank holiday that falls on a Monday.
The library has been a prominent feature of the Grade II listed building on The Parade since 1999, when the former public swimming baths were redeveloped. While the site is currently undergoing a multi-million pound roof restoration project funded by Arts Council England, the library and other services housed within the building are remaining open for regular business outside of these holiday closures.
In addition to these holiday dates, library users may notice changes in the future as the council reviews service operations. In February 2025, the local authority approved plans to assess Sunday opening hours at several locations, including the Leamington branch, as part of a wider effort to achieve budget savings.
