Library Proving Popular In Kidwelly

Kidwelly’s new library is proving popular with the public since opening its doors last year. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The library at the Gwenllian Centre is open for two days a week, with plan to extend the service on a voluntary basis. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

A mobile library served the town previously since the town council offices closed in 2013 after a car crashed into the side wall. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Executive board member for libraries Cllr Meryl Gravell said: “It’s good to see the library being used I hope the community continues to enjoy the facility.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Opening times are Mon, 9-1pm and Wed, 1-5pm. Anyone who would like to help as a volunteer can call Steffi James, Outreach Manager on 01554 744815. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
