Cracks in roof closes Birmingham Library for third day

The Library of Birmingham is closed for a third day after cracks were found in part of its glass roof.

The library, which has been open for nearly five years, shut early on Friday after the damage was found by workers, BBC News reported.

“The cracks were found in a pane of glass and the issue is being assessed,” a spokesman for the city council said.

The library management tweeted it was closed because of “ongoing maintenance issues” and would provide further updates when they were available.

It apologised for any inconvenience caused.
