Stage Two of the Thames Library starts early September

A new conference/meeting room at the Thames Library, which will be available for hire to the public, will be open by early October.

Work on the Thames Library will start on Monday 5 September and includes converting the current staff room into a conference/meeting room and the existing staff room being relocated to the mezzanine floor and upgrading the staff area at the rear of the office.

The library will remain open during the work as, unlike the work for stage one, the work is confined to a small area which should have minimal impact. Users of the library are asked that they tolerate a small amount of noise and dust while the work is being done.

Stage two of the project has been awarded to local builders AZCO Builders Limited. AZCO Builders successfully completed the work for stage one of the project in February this year which included construction of a new toilet facility, front counter and manager's office.

"The new meeting room will accommodate up to 25 people. Currently there is a lack of public meeting spaces in Thames so this will fulfil a need," says Library Coordinator Linda Hayfield. "It will also be used by the library to host events such as children's holiday programmes, author visits and workshops."
