The Shadwell Library building has been a library since 1923. A group of like-minded volunteers stepped in to keep the doors and the pages of its books open. Since the 'Shadwell Independent Library' opened in January 2013, we have added hundreds of books. The Local History Society has hosted many interesting events under the banner of our Arts Centre and our wonderful new café opened in 2016

This is more than just a library. It is adjacent to the Leeds Art Gallery and shares a fantastic tiled cafe. A most impressive eating hall. Staff are helpful and very pleasant. Great place for a quick cuppa and cake.
