New books at Whitnash

Warwickshire County Council’s library service put money aside for new titles after officials realised there were gaps in the shelves at the Franklin Road library and Cllr Bernard Kirton (Ind, Whitnash) said readers had complained about the ‘tired’ selection.

Now £1,000 has been put aside for adult fiction and £500 for non-fiction, with children’s books bought as part of a countywide process. Some are already in stock.

Cllr Kirton said: “I would like to say thank you on behalf of Whitnash because the library service has listened. I hope people will respond by going along.”

l NEW opening hours will come into effect at Whitnash library from April 1. Opening times are: Mondays and Tues- days 10.30am to 5pm, Wednes days 1.30pm to 5pm, Fridays 10.30am to 4pm and Saturdays 10.30am to 1.30pm. Closed Thursdays and Sundays.
