Possible future changes to main the library in the Conwy Valley is being discussed with local residents.
The existing library in Llanrwst is popular and well used. However the library building is dated, requires investment, and is too small to meet demand.
The unexpected closure of Glasdir Business and Conference Centre in October 2020 has created the opportunity to not only develop the library service but also a community hub for rural Conwy.
Cllr Dr Mark Baker, Conwy County Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Arts, Heritage and Culture explained.
“We propose that the Llanrwst Library moves to the ground floor of Glasdir, developing its existing offer as well as providing additional services and facilities.
“This is a great building to offer the residents of rural Conwy a community hub to access council services and much more closer to home.
“We encourage everyone to look at the concept drawings of how the new library could look. And submit their views on what should be provided in the new library.”
The concept drawings can be seen at www.conwy.gov.uk/llanrwstlibrary and the questionnaire can be completed on the same page. The closing date for feedback and comments is 28th February 2021.
Alternatively you can contact Llanrwst Library directly on 01492 577545 and request a paper copy.
The remaining vacant space within Glasdir will be advertised in the coming weeks. Interested parties will be able to find the documentation at www.conwy.gov.uk/estates
