A refurbished library in Bromley will reopen to the public on Friday.
Chislehurst Library will reopen following the completion of refurbishment work as the fifth library to re-open as part of the £11m initiative to modernise libraries across the borough.
Executive Councillor for Renewal, Recreation and Housing, Yvonne Bear, said: “This is literally an investment in our future which also minimises maintenance costs going forward.
The Council has modernised the libraries through conducting repair works and replacement of fixtures and fittings that have reached the end of their useful life.
The renovation work at Chislehurst Library includes a new roof installation, replacement of all windows and a new heating system.
An accessible public toilet has also been installed, alongside redecoration works and a new children’s mural.
Cllr Bear continued: “Libraries are so very important, not just as centres to support learning, but they also offer services and facilities that benefit the whole community.
There’s something for everyone at our libraries and these improvement works will make them even more accessible and enjoyable places to visit.”
The confirmed reopening of Chislehurst Library follows the closure of the temporary library in Hornbrook House as the library team transfer all the books and equipment in preparation for the reopening of Chislehurst Library.
