Llanrwst Library reopens following £300,00 relocation northwalespioneer.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from northwalespioneer.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The figures are contained in draft business cases put before Conwy county council’s cabinet this week. The library moved to its current location, in a former courthouse on Plas yn Dre, in 1998 but the authority said it would cost £90,000 to repair the building’s roof. The council’s new strategy would see libraries across the county being developed as community hubs, with Llanrwst’s moving to the vacant Glasdir business and conference centre. The business case submitted for the Glasdir project, the council’s preferred outcome, said: “Relocation of Llanrwst Library to Glasdir will provide an opportunity to develop new partnerships with other council services and external partners, eg Welsh Government, police and the voluntary sector.”

LLANRWST Library is set to move location and become a rural community hub that could include a social space and virtual access to health care. Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) said the existing library on Heol Yr Orsaf Station Road is too small to meet popular demand, as well as being dated and requiring investment. It has proposed a move to the ground floor of Glasdir Business and Conference Centre and former exhibition hall, which closed last year, with the provision of additional facilities. The proposals include a space for social events.

Other ideas that could go ahead if additional funding is secured include a coffee shop, repair cafe and library of things .
