I am delighted to report that, from Tuesday 14th June, opening times at Alderley Edge Library will be extended to 20 hours a week. The library was forced to close during the pandemic, before re-opening one day per week in the spring of last year. During that time, the library service has lost three members of staff: one to long term sickness, one to retirement and another to alternative employment with another local authority.
The library service has recently recruited and trained three new members of staff and so from this coming Tuesday, we look forward to meeting Debbie, Laura & Stephanie who will be at Alderley Edge on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. In addition, from early July, the library will also be opening again on Saturday mornings, which will take us back up to our pre-pandemic opening hours.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our community volunteers, who have helped to keep the library open on Tuesday afternoons since the autumn of last year and will continue to run Tuesday afternoon sessions going forwards. I will be organising a special thank you event at the library later this month, when all of our volunteers will be presented with certificates and a small gift from the library service.
The new opening times from Tuesday 14th June are displayed below.
