As a Ward Councillor, I am pleased to report that the Council's Policy & Resources Committee today agreed to advertise a contract for the internal design and fit out of the new Kilmacolm Library at a cost of £100,000.
The Library will be located in the former school board building currently being refurbished as part of the contract for the new Kilmacolm Community Centre in the adjacent former Kilmacolm Primary School.
The new Library, which should be open by April next year, will be a major improvement on the current library room located in the existing Community Centre. It will house around 5,000 books, CDs and DVDs; 8 public access PCs; a children's library; a relaxed seating area with coffee machine; and space for organised activities for children and a book group. The new library will have full disabled access; accessible public toilet facilities; and adjacent car parking.
I am sure that this investment by the Council will be warmly welcomed by Library users in the village.
