Harwich Library

Harwich Library has been transformed with a £1.16 million refurbishment.

The scheme has created new space for Adult Community Learning (ACL) and community events, as well as 182 square metres of additional floorspace. It includes two new rooms and a mezzanine floor with a modern design.

The improvements mean the library can continue to support residents and help businesses thrive.

The library reopened in October 2025 with a celebration event, followed by a series of author visits to showcase the new look and feel of the space.
