Councillor Rabanawaz Akbar, Executive Member for Neighbourhoods, Libraries, Leisure and Parks, said:
“Families and regular library visitors completed a survey in early 2020 detailing what they wanted in the new Children’s Library. We have acted on their feedback, made significant improvements to the library and created a fun, vibrant space that caters to the need of both children and their parents.
“The new space looks incredible and I’m thrilled that the library is back open so we can welcome children back to the refurbished library and encourage them to dive into some books.”
