Library News
What do young people think of libraries?
During the week of Monday 20 September
2010, the library service is going to be asking
children and young people to complete a questionnaire that asks
them what they think of the service that libraries provide for
them.
If children are unable to complete a
questionnaire themselves, their parent / carers or library staff
can help them.
It is hoped that the library service
will find out how children currently use libraries and their
satisfaction with core services and with the library overall.
The survey is being conducted in
libraries throughout England / Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland
between September and October 2010.
For further details contact your local library.
Haltwhistle Library moving back to former
premises
The current premises will close at 7.00pm on Monday 6 September
2010 due to the library moving back to the former site in the
Mechanics Institute building, on West Gate. The library
has been extensively refurbished with funding from The Big Lottery
Fund.
The Big Lottery Fund distributes half of the National Lottery
good cause funding across the UK. The Fund is committed to bringing
real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in
need.

The library will re-open for business on Friday 10
September at 9.30am.
Items can be returned to any library or
mobile, renewed online by visiting our website www.northumberland.gov.uk/243 or
our 24hr renewals line 01670 50 50 16.
We look forward to welcoming
you to our exciting new library!
