Bag Books

Here's Suzi and me with "Kofi" at Smallbridge Library. I've been to Sandbrook with "Sea Rescue" this week and will go again with "Kofi and the Magic Shaker" and "Uninvited Guests" these holidays.
During the last term Redwood School and St. Peter's school have enjoyed me sharing Bag Books with them - especially the water pistol from "Uninvited Guests" on a very hot day! (yes, we do get very hot days in Rochdale)

Heywood and Wheatsheaf Libraries — temporary closures

The Wheatsheaf Library will be closed for re-carpeting from Wednesday 7th November 2007 for about 3 weeks.

You can return your books at the Special Services unit which is opposite the main Library entrance in the Wheatsheaf Centre.

Heywood Library will be closed from Monday 12th November 2007 for around six months for building work.

Some of the books from Heywood Library, notably Best sellers and Graphic Novels, are being moved to Darnhill Library while Heywood Library is closed. Darnhill Library will also be open longer than usual:

We still want to see you, even if these libraries are closed!

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Building works

Balderstone Library

It will take longer to complete the building work at Balderstone Library than was planned. We have had to extend the closed period to 22nd October.

Some loans will be due back during this period; we have set the circulation system so that closed days are not taken into consideration for fines and charges, so please do not worry about not being able to return items by these due dates. The Library Service would like to apologise to all customers for this unavoidable delay.


Smallbridge Library

Toilet facilities for disabled people are now being installed at Smallbridge Library. The work does not require the library's being closed but there may be some occasional disruption to the library in the process. The Library Service would like to apologise to all our customers for any inconvenience.

Balderstone Library

Balderstone Library is closed from today for building work: toilet facilities for disabled people are being installed. The library will re-open on 15th October. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.

If you are a member of Balderstone Library you're a member of all the libraries in the Borough; your library card will let you borrow items from any of them. You can also use the Web Catalogue to browse our stock, reserve items and renew your loans.
