Libraries

Cancellation of most events and workshops

As a mark of respect for Her Majesty, The Queen, the majority of our planned events and workshops will not take place during the national period of mourning. A small number of activities will go ahead to support the health and wellbeing of our communities at this difficult time. 

All libraries will be closed on Monday as we pay our respects to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. We will reopen as usual on Tuesday.
