In late July the newly elected MP for our area Kim Leadbeater, popped into the Community Centre one Saturday morning to introduce herself to some of her new constituents (Kirkheaton is now part of the Spen Valley constituency).
She is a strong supporter of retaining Kirkheaton library in its present format and has even mentioned  the importance of Kirkheaton and Mirfield libraries as valued and valuable  community assets in Parliament.

The photo shows Kim (Centre)in the library alongside local councillors, library volunteers and borrowers.
