Barry library closed at 6pm today. The new County library will open on the 4th January. We need all this time to move the stock and set-up the new library. We hope that all our customers have heard about the move by now and will make use of other libraries in the Vale while we are shut. The inconvenience will be well worth it.
We had a planning meeting to coordinate arrangements for the next few days. Staff will work over the weekend to clear all desks, drawers and lockers so that furniture and office supplies can be moved to King square on Monday. 250 crates will arrive tomorrow for us to start boxing up the office contents and some books for removal. The removal company will shift the crates and furniture Monday and then crate and move the bulk of the stock. Only once all stock has been crated can the shelving company arrive to dismantle the shelving and move it to the county library. We expect our furniture removal van to become a common site along Holton Road.
The barriers came down around the main entrance on Ty-Newydd road this morning allowing people to come up to the glass wall and look into the library for the first time. Lots of people took this opportunity, especially people waiting for their bus outside the building. The roof overhangs the front of the building and provides shelter from the rain. Far more important than the library however, the removal of the barriers gave access to the long awaited new public toilets.
We had the heaviest rain of the year this evening but it didn't stop people coming out to view the entertainment on King Square. The marque in the park proved useful and the exhibition centre was packed out.
