William Powell, the County Councillor for Talgarth, has a regular column in WyeLocal, and this month he congratulated Michael Eccles for all his hard work in setting up the CIC to help Hay Library, and also mentioned what had been happening in Talgarth.
Talgarth Library is another of the small local libraries that has been under threat of closure by Powys County Council. Now Talgarth TiRC and Talgarth Regeneration Group, together with the Friends of Talgarth Library, have managed to secure a funding boost from Comic Relief Wales, via PAVO. I'm not sure what the TiRC is, because the councillor doesn't say, but it may be the Talgarth Information and Resource Centre, which is based at the Tower Shop in the middle of Talgarth.
The project they have funding for is to improve provision for children at the library, with story telling, something for the pre-school group Puddleducks, and more opportunities for the pupils at Ysgol y Mynydd Ddu and the surrounding area. They are also planning partnerships with the Hay, Brecon and Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees group, and the mental health charity, the DPJ Foundation, which supports people in agriculture who have mental health problems.
