The repairs and refurbishment of Rock Road Library are continuing and the roof is now continent! It is hoped that the library will reopen at the end of August, but watch this space! This is a photo taken this morning.

The roof repairs are nearly complete but there is still some internal refurbishment to do so the library is likely to continue to be closed for pretty much all of August. Sadly therefore we have had to postpone the five author talks for children we'd planned to run during the last two weeks of this month. We are intending to reschedule and run them during forthcoming school holidays, probably in the next two half terms. Watch this space.

Says it’ll be at Rock Road Library on Wed 13 Aug but may need to check the date as the library is normally closed on that day.
