Levenshulme High School are to take over running the facility from Manchester City Council until a new library and leisure centre opens in Spring 2015.
Jeremy Hoad, chair of the Friends of Levenshulme Library, was delighted at the news and expressed relief that the facility has been saved.
“It’s win, win, win all round,” he told MM. “It means that the library is saved and protected for the next two years until the new library is opened.
