"We had a period of heavy overnight rain last week, which led us to close last Thursday, July 29 for one day only to clean up a specific small area where water had penetrated the roof.
"However, the lift is temporarily out of service meaning there is currently no disabled access. For those customers not requiring the lift, they can still access the library using the old stairway.”
The library is currently open from 10am to 5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays; 10am to 4pm and Wednesdays; 10am to 8pm on Thursdays; and 10am to 3pm on Saturdays.
