Southowram Library, on Law Lane in Southowram, was one of several shut down by Calderdale Council to help save cash.
Brighouse-based William Henry Smith School initially explored taking over the building, the council reported in summer 2021, but this was not taken forward.
Now the building has been given a new lease of life as an off licence.
