The Cantley Community Library had a successful reopening in August of 2021 and thanks to the increased number of volunteers they can now open for longer hours.
Many libraries suffered during the pandemic due to restrictions and a loss of volunteers but this community resource is bouncing back stronger than ever before.

“My thanks go to the team here at Cantley Community Library who have worked hard and have helped recruit several new volunteers allowing for these increased opening hours.
“It will be great to get back to running the events and activities and further increasing our involvement and support for the local community.”
Starting in November 2021 these will be the new opening hours at the library.
