The Grimsby Central Library, which was abruptly shut down in March due to a water leak, is expected to remain closed for an unspecified period. The water incident has led to concerns about potential asbestos disturbance in the library, which was built during the 1960s and contains asbestos. North East Lincolnshire Council announced that library materials, including books and local history archives, will be relocated to facilitate a thorough assessment and the subsequent removal of asbestos. The council is actively considering options for a temporary facility while the re-opening schedule of the library remains uncertain.
