Stoke-on-Trent City Council Leader Jane Ashworth, said: "This is an exciting time for our library service, with the move of City Central Library and a more modern site at Two Smithfield.
"In the interim, we will still offer a number of library services via the Little Library Van on Smithfield on Wednesdays, plus digital support sessions from Hanley Market.
"Anyone who wishes to sign up to the Summer Reading Challenge after the closure will be able to do so from the Little Library Van, our five other library sites or at the Tales in the Park events we will be teaming with Stoke Reads on.
"We look forward to re-opening City Central Library at Two Smithfield in September."
