Crime writer Alex Gray will be guest of honour at the official launch of the new Kilmacolm Library on Thursday 9th June 2011.
The Library is part of the new £2 million community centre development and is situated directly opposite the previous library in the old School Board building next to Kilmacolm Cross.
The new library opened its doors for the first time at the end of last month and has been doing roaring business and there as been some very positive feedback from people. The building has been converted to a very high standard and the added space has allowed us to increase the number of books and audiovisual items. This is a fantastic facility for Kilmacolm at the heart of the community and I am delighted it is already proving a success.
The Library has eleven public access PC’s which will allow a wide range of computer based classes to be taught and it also offers free Wi-Fi access – a first in Inverclyde.
Disabled library users are well catered for with the addition of an easy access height-adjustable computer workstation, adapted WC and induction loop system for the hard of hearing.
The dedicated children’s area provides a larger stock of children’s and young adult title and plenty of space to play and take part in organised events and activities such as weekly Bookbug sessions for 0-4’s and their parents or carers.
To mark the official launch, former Kilmacolm teacher Alex Gray will read from her novel ‘Five Ways to Kill a Man’, a murder mystery set in and around Kilmacolm before hosting a question and answer session.
