Temporary library closures
From 22 July, library opening hours have changed.
These changes are temporary and are solely due to staff resignations which leaves limited staff availability over the coming weeks.
We are in the process of recruiting and the temporary schedule will be reviewed regularly, with normal hours resuming as staffing permits.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
