Library opening hours to change from December

New library opening hours will go live across Cheshire East from next month.

The changes will come into effect on Friday 1 December at all sites across the borough except for Alderley Edge library where the new opening hours will go live on Tuesday 5 December.

The mobile library routes and stops will remain as they are now, and a wealth of online resources and services are still available digitally via the council's website.

The changes to library opening hours are required to deliver the essential savings included in the council's adopted medium-term financial strategy (MTFS).

Nantwich Library

Nantwich Town Council clerk, Samantha Roberts, said: "Nantwich's library is a fantastic community asset and so it is positive news for the town that the funding provided by the town council will support the facility to remain open for an extra half day each week (four hours), meaning our residents have greater opportunity to access all that is on offer."

Opening hours at Nantwich Library

• Monday -10am-5pm
• Tuesday – 10am-7pm
• Wednesday -10am-5pm
• Thursday -10am-5pm

The council is still inviting expressions of interest from town and parish councils to explore ways of working together to deliver library services in their area.
