Provisional sketch of proposed new entrance porch.
The picture is of the proposed new entrance porch to
replace the 100 year old timber structure. Following the Design and
Feasibility Study we have successfully secured funding for this work from
the Colne Valley Area Committee. Our many thanks go to the local
councillors for their support of this project.
April 5th - Official Opening of refurbished Library
with internet facilities
Representatives from The Examiner and Barclays Bank
will be opening the refurbished library at 11am on Saturday 5th April.
After winning the first prize of £2800 in the Examiner
Community Chest competition in November 2007 the library has been
refurbished. The ceiling has been replaced. New lighting and heating
installed. Walls and windows painted and the original shelves washed and
repaired. A telephone line with broadband internet access has also been
installed.
To complete the project large numbers of books have
been generously donated. The sale of these provides funds for the Longwood
Village Group.
The Management team would like to thank all who helped
with the refurbishment.
