Latest chapter for the Leeds library where you can even book a wedding
Yorkshire Evening Post
|September 17, 2025
Tucked between high street stores in the city centre of Leeds is the oldest subscription library in the UK.
The Leeds Library was founded in 1768, predating public libraries, and it's been in its current location in Commercial Street since 1808.
"We're a real cultural institution in Leeds," said CEO of the Leeds Library Nina Corey.
The library is a membership-only destination for booklovers and those wanting a "peaceful" escape from the city centre.
Nina said: "When it started, it moved around, and then it found its home here in 1808. It was built to be a library, and it has been a library ever since."
