Bolton-le-Sands is a large village and civil parish of the City of Lancaster in Lancashire, England.

[2] Referred to as Bodeltone in the Domesday book, the village was known as Bolton until the arrival of the railways, when the name was changed to Bolton-le-Sands to differentiate from similarly named towns on the same line, such as Bolton which was then a part of Lancashire and called Bolton-le-Moors.

Also passing through the village is the A6 and the West Coast Main Line, although its railway station closed in 1969.

[8] The library was controversially closed in Autumn 2016 following a renovation in 2015 costing a reported £283,000, in a cost-cutting measure by Lancashire County Council.

[10] The library was re-opened in December 2017, with commitment by the Lancashire City Council to keep it as vital part of the community.
