ARTIST COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

Alongside Yorkshire Contemporary, we're delighted to announce artists Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan will develop a major new commission for our Children’s Library at Leeds Central Library!

The commission will create a new artist-designed environment for children aged 0-11 and their families, integrating storytelling, shared reading, imaginative play and social interaction in bold and unexpected ways. The project is part of the wider ground floor Central Library redevelopment.

The brief for the new Children's Library was developed through consultation with families and other stakeholders, embedding what was loved about the previous installation Tiny Totley to create an inclusive and imaginative new space. The new space will open in Autumn 2026 as part of the Leeds 400 celebrations during National Year of Reading 📚

02/04/2026

NHS services will be affected by strike action next week.

If you need medical attention, help is available – visit https://orlo.uk/XNhKw

Please only call 999 if it is a medical emergency - when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.
