A family fun day is being staged at a Derbyshire County Council library which has under gone a £15,000 re-fit to make it lighter, brighter and easier for people to use.
Newbold Library has been re-decorated with new carpets and lighting to make it a more pleasant place to visit.
As part of the work carried out by the council, a new counter has also been installed to ensure disabled people can use the building in
Windermere Road
.
The library has been closed for six weeks to allow the work to be carried out and will re-open on Monday 22 October.
On Friday 26 October, the library will host a family fun and community safety day from 10am to 5pm when people are invited to drop in and have a look around the new-look venue.
Library staff will be joined by police and community safety staff who will be marking property and giving out safety advice. It is hoped a fire engine will also be at the library on the day.
Councillor Bob Janes, the county council’s cabinet member for cultural services, will officially re-open the library on Thursday 1 November.
On that day, people are invited to drop in between 10am and 5pm to swap memories of living in Newbold with an event called The Way We Were and there will be chance to meet a local historian.
Visitors are encouraged to take along their own photographs of bygone days and they will be able to access the Picture the Past website – a database containing thousands of old images of the East Midlands.
Councillor Janes said both events were a chance for local people to see inside the newly refurbished library and find out more about the services on offer.
He said: “Our libraries offer much more than simply books with a range of services including free use of the internet, video conferencing and the loan of DVDs, CDs and computer games.
“The £15,000 we have spent on Newbold Library has turned it in to a lighter and brighter place to visit and the changes to the counter mean it is more accessible for everyone.
“I hope as many people as possible will take the opportunity to visit the library to see for themselves the range of services on offer.”
