Leeds Library & Information Service, in partnership with the Youth Service, are hosting sessions in Garforth Community College to involve young people in this project. The sessions will be similar to the GYFT sessions for teenagers that used to be held in the Library, but each session will have a particular focus.
You'll be helping to make a film about the project, giving us ideas about services & activities etc. you'd like to see in the new building, and there will also be time to use the computers and have fun.
The next session will take place on Wednesday 18th March, 2:30 - 5:00, in the Sixth form well area of the College.

About Me
- Garforth Library
- Leeds Library & Information Service were awarded £1.4 million by the BIG Lottery Fund to develop an exciting new Library & One Stop Centre for Garforth. The old Library building has been extended and redesigned, allowing for the Library and One Stop Centre to be housed under one roof. The building reopened in February 2010. The new building features green technology such as solar panels to heat water, and a “living” sedum roof that is energy efficient and encourages wildlife. The building features a lift, ramp, downstairs meeting room and downstairs toilets for improved accessibility. Facilities for young people have been improved, and a new learning suite provides better IT facilities for the whole community and enables us to deliver new learning sessions. The new extension also features "Baraka Express", a not-for-profit cafe, in which customers can relax and enjoy a sandwich and coffee.
