Library Update

So here's the latest news on the Library, from Kay Thomas the Chief Librarian for Powys, via HOWLS:
Until the playground is finished, there is no safe access for the public to the new school building, and the hoardings on the car park side have to stay in place. This should be finished sometime after the Festival, so the present Library will now close on Monday 11th June, and re-open at the school on Monday 18th June.
Also, despite the article in the Hereford Times a couple of weeks ago, it seems that no final decision has been taken on how many hours a week the new library will be open for. Powys County Council said it would be open for 12 hours a week, which is about half the hours it's open now. Hay Festival have said they are willing to put in additional funding again (they've supported the Library financially for several years now) to bring it up to 19 hours a week - but Powys County Council have yet to agree to a date for a meeting to discuss the issue.

The HOWLS AGM will be held on Wednesday 20th June at 7pm - venue to be announced soon.
