The Council has just completed a £25,000 refurbishment of Port Glasgow Library. This is part of our ongoing commitment to investing in the Library Service.
In our first budget in 2008 we allocated an additional £300,000 for the library book fund. Work is currently ongoing to fit out the former school board building in Kilmacolm for a new branch library, which will replace the current library in the community centre. We have set aside £100,000 to fit out the new library with the most up to date facilities.
Work is also ongoing to refurbish the Gourock Library and we have plans to incorporate a new South West Library in the new sports centre at Rankin Park.
Exciting times indeed for the Library Service in Inverclyde in stark contrast to the dark days under the Lib Dems when the book fund was slashed and two branch libraries closed.
