Accrington Library and its building work
Since April this year, Accrington Library has had scaffolding around the outside of the building. There has been a long standing problem with dry rot in what used to be the wonderful LOCAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT (and the storage rooms behind). The two rooms were completely emptied in preparation for the work and the stock has been carefully relocated in other parts of the building to ensure it remains fully accessible to the public whilst repairs are carried out. A new roof is also planned for the building.
The work is expected to continue until December, and plans are in place for the Community History resources to be moved back into the same area when the rooms are ready.
The sooner the better!
