OPTIONS are being explored for a temporary home for Cross Hands Library, pending a proposed permanent move to a purpose-built facility within the town.
The library will leave its current home at the Cross Hands Cinema building during December following the expiry of a lease agreement.
Services will be provided from Carmarthenshire County Council’s mobile library from Saturday, December 7, until a new temporary premises is found.
It will provide a comprehensive range of reading materials along with iPad access to online services and will operate during existing Cross Hands library hours – 10 am-5 pm Mondays and Thursdays, and 10 am-1 pm on Saturdays.
The council said it welcomes suggestions from members of the public and businesses about a temporary solution.
Longer-term, there are proposals for the library to be permanently based at a new Health and Wellbeing Centre planned for the Cross Hands area.
Ian Jones, Carmarthenshire County Council’s Head of Leisure, said: “We would like to thank people for their understanding whilst we work towards the permanent provision of a modern, fully-equipped, and purpose-built library service within the Cross Hands area.
“We will shortly be leaving our current home at Cross Hands Cinema, and thank the trustees for welcoming us over the last few years.
“Our mobile library service will be operating in the area from late December, offering a good range of reading and audio material, as well as digital access for our customers.”
The current provision at Cross Hands Cinema will come to an end on December 7.
