Borehamwood library gets grant to extend opening hours
10:02am Monday 28th November 2011 in Where I Live By Bruce Thain
BOREHAMWOOD Library will be open an extra three hours a week, thanks to a £12,000 grant from the Town Council announced last week.
The grant will mean the library, in Elstree Way, will be open from 11am on Thursdays until April next year, instead of the previous time of 2pm.
It is hoped the extra opening hours will help literacy levels in the area and encourage parents to bring their children to the library to read together.
There will be a special ceremony this Thursday at Borehamwood Library to celebrate the extra hours people can use the library.
Town Mayor Sandra Parnell and Deputy Mayor of the Borough Council Pat Strack will open the library on Thursday December 1 at 11am.
