On May 18, Greenisland Library reopened its doors after going through an extensive refurbishment project.
The investment work focused on improving the energy efficiency of the library with the installation of a new heating system, LED lighting and new double glazed windows and doors. The interior and exterior of the library have also been improved with a new roof, new floor covering and new internal decoration to reinvigorate the library.
Branch Library Manager Donna Orr said:
“It was brilliant to see our customers coming back in and spending time to enjoy the new library and we have been encouraged by their reaction so far. I look forward to greeting returning and new customers over coming weeks and to getting our regular events back up and running.”
Greenisland Library is open five days a week including a Saturday and regular events in the library include Rhythm and Rhyme sessions for parents/carers and preschool children, Lego Club, storytime and Knit and Natter. Click here to find out more about Greenisland library and its opening hours.
