A survey has been launched ahead of the move of Narberth Community Library into a brand new building on the Old School site in the town.
The site will also include the ‘Hwb’ food hall and residential properties in an exciting revamp of the town centre location.
In addition to lending books and providing computer access, the new library will also provide a space for all members of the community to use.
With this in mind, the survey asks what activities the community might like in the new community library.
The survey is running until November 30 and asks for feedback from the local community, including those who do not currently use the library.
You can access the survey online at: https://haveyoursay.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/narberth-library
Paper copies are available from Narberth Community Library and at other local venues.
Narberth Community Library is run as a partnership between the Friends of Narberth Library (FONL), Narberth Town Council and Pembrokeshire County Council.
Volunteers play an important role in delivering the service and FONL are keen to get more volunteers on board.
Narberth County Councillor Vic Dennis, said: “This is a really exciting time in the development of library services in Narberth.
“It is important that the wishes of the local community are reflected when the library moves to its new home so we encourage all users and local residents to complete the short survey.
“This is also an appropriate time to recognise and thank the volunteers that give many hours of their time up to compliment and extend the service that we all enjoy.”
Marc Tierney, Chairman of the Friends of Narberth Library added: “For more than five years, our volunteer team has worked alongside Pembrokeshire County Council’s Library service to keep our local library open.
“Since then we’ve expanded opening hours and continued to recruit and train new volunteers despite the pandemic.
“So please tell us what you like about our community library and how you think we can improve when we move to a brand new purpose built location.
“If you’d like to find out how you can be more involved with the Friends of Narberth Library as a volunteer then please do get in touch – find us on facebook or visit us at the library.”
