Burley Community Library is a small provincial library & base for the Burley Archive in West Yorkshire, England.
Burley Community Library was formally owned & managed by Bradford Metropolitan District Council. From 1st April 2017 it was passed into the ownership & management of Burley Parish Council under Community Asset Transfer.
The Library is also known as Burley in Wharfedale Library & Burley Library.
It consists of an entrance lobby, main library room, a small room at the back of the building that houses the Burley Archive, Public Toilets (now with wheelchair access & baby changing facilities), & a small staff kitchen. The Burley Community Library building, opened in 1974, & was in need of extensive repairs & redecoration following years of neglect by Bradford Council.
