Coming to a Library Near You ...

As part of the County Councils plans for the Library Service our local library (Arbury Court) will be closed for a week to allow the installation of self-service machines (like the one pictured from the Central library) and to allow time for staff training.

This investment in the local library is welcome. What is less than welcome is this Conservative Administrations' cuts to staffing and opening hours - a library is only useful to it's local community when it's open and people can only get the best use out of it when there are trained staff on-hand to help.

You can keep up to date with events at your local library by following the Friends of Arbury Library blog. The County Council has just finished a consultation on opening hours the results of which are not yet available - when something is available I will post it here.
