As many of you will know, Keighley Library is 120 years old this year. It was the first library in England to be financed by the Scottish American billionaire and educational philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie and is an architectural gem of the town. It opened its doors on 20 August 1904 and to celebrate this milestone, a programme of events has already been launched for the year ahead 2024-2025 with regular updates on this site.

It is with great pleasure that we would now like to invite you to a day of celebration on Saturday 30^th November when we will look at the development of the library, its founders and influencers. As you can see from a packed programme, there is something for all the family and we look forward to seeing you there.
