Favourite children’s character The Gruffalo was there with library staff at 9.30am to help with the ribbon cutting and was back at 4pm to welcome families to the library after school. The building now features a lift, modernised public computer area, new flexible shelving and a Changing Places toilet facility – the only one in the centre of town, and designed to meet the needs of people for whom standard accessible toilets are not suitable, including an adult sized changing bench, hoist and adequate space for carers to support a disabled person. The new library is located at 15-19 The Martlets, close to its old location.
