Title

St Annes Library

Description

St Anne's Library was reopened on March 4th 2019 jointly by County Councillor Peter Buckley, cabinet member for community and cultural services and County Councillor Edward Nash, following the completion of extensive specialist repair work to preserve the historic building.

As the library is over 110 years old and Grade II listed, specialist heritage surveyors had to be brought in to support county surveyors to carry out the work. The repairs have been ongoing since August 2017 after some plaster fell from the ceiling which meant the library had to be closed for safety reasons.

Areas where work has been carried out include the masonry, windows, foundations to the 1930s extension, weather sealing, roof trusses and the cupola.
