As reported, since the end of January the library is now run by community radio stations Awaaz and Fiesta FM, following a two-year break in service.

Opening hours have now been announced as:

Wednesdays: 1 – 5pm
Fridays: 1-4.30pm

It had been hoped that it would also open on Mondays, and eventually on Saturdays. However it’s understood that there are more volunteers who are currently being trained, so further hours are still the aspiration.

Anyone wanting to join the volunteering team is invited to leave their details at the library.

• The Friends of Cobbett Road Library are currently running a creative writing prize competition for 7 – 17-year-olds, until April 16, focusing on the theme ‘Library of the Future’. More details in our previous piece.

• There’s also a free drama taster class coming up at the library on April 23 from 4-5pm for 7-12-year-olds, with Light UP Youth Theatre. More details and registration on Facebook.
