Tidworth Library will reopen on April 12, while Ludgershall’s will remain closed, as Wiltshire’s libraries come out of lockdown. Tidworth Library will be open for browsing, but only at weekends. For the rest of the week, it will be open for order and collect, as it has been throughout lockdown. Ludgershall remains closed alongside a number of others, including Box, Durrington, Lyneham, Market Lavington, Purton, Ramsbury and Tisbury. The council is working with the libraries’ volunteers to reopen these as soon as possible, and further updates will follow in due course. In line with the Wiltshire Council Roadmap, Wiltshire’s 34 libraries (including mobile libraries) are taking a cautious approach to reopening. As lockdown is eased, opening hours and services will be increased in a phased way over the next few months. For individual opening times and days please check the links below.
