Llandudno Library will re-open Tuesday January 25th
Come along to see the newly refurbished library - enjoy all your favourite services along with some new ones...
Conwy’s busiest library has benefited from a grant funded refurbishment programme and is due to reopen next week.
Llandudno Library, which received over 160,000 visitors during 2009/10, will boast a range of new and improved facilities when it re-opens to the public on Tuesday 25 January.
Library users will see a whole new look to the library layout. There will be specially zoned areas, including a family-friendly area, which will accommodate the library’s popular story time sessions, an area for young people and a local history zone.
There's also a newly refurbished area where people can use the library’s IT facilities or drop-in to make use of Wi-Fi access. Along with new self service counters for taking out and returning books, allowing staff more time to help library users and deal with enquiries.
The building has also improved disabled access and new baby change facilities.
The improvements were funded by a capital grant of £300,000 from Welsh Assembly Government/CyMAL and £100,000 from Conwy County Borough Council Local Community Regeneration Provision, only available for this purpose.
Cllr Goronwy Edwards, Cabinet Member for Communities at Conwy County Borough Council said,
“We are delighted that the Library Service successfully secured this grant funding for Conwy for the third time, after successful refurbishments in Abergele and Colwyn Bay libraries, and we’re pleased to continue investment in libraries when funding permits. I’m sure that the Library’s customers will find the new facilities impressive and the numbers will continue to increase.”
