SATURDAY OPENING RETURNS AT ALDERLEY EDGE LIBRARY

I am pleased to share with residents the welcome news that from Saturday 1st October, Alderley Edge Library will once again be open between the hours of 09.30 and 13.00.

The Library Service has been beset by staffing issues since Alderley Edge Library was initially forced to close due to the pandemic, losing three members of staff in quick succession (one to retirement, one to ill health and another to alternative employment). It has taken some time to recruit and train new members of staff, but I am delighted to confirm that we are now up to a full complement once more.

In addition to opening between the hours of 09.30 and 17.00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays, the return of Saturday mornings means that Alderley Edge Library is now back up to the pre-pandemic opening of 25 hours per week. The Library continues to be staffed with the help of local volunteers on Tuesday afternoons, when a range of alternative activities are also available.

To celebrate the return of Saturday mornings, I have changed my regular Community Surgery from the last Saturday in September to the first Saturday in October. I would therefore like to welcome residents who would like to discuss any community issue, to join me for a cuppa on Saturday 1st October anytime between 11am and 12noon.
