Councillor Joanne Gauden, Executive Member for Economy, Skills & Regeneration, said: “We are thrilled that leaners and book enthusiasts can return to our libraries next week.
“We know that for learners having access to books which support them on their learning journey is vital. This is why we couldn’t be more happy we are reopening.
“Covid may have altered the way library services have worked over the last few months, but it hasn’t stopped our hard working staff coming up with solutions so people could still access resources.
“I would like to thank everyone who has worked so hard keeping the library service running since covid began, and wish them luck with the new phase.”
For those customers concerned about overdue charges on books, please don’t worry. All book loans are continuing to be extended during the current time.
For any queries or to use our ‘Request and Collect’ service, or to book a computer slot, please call 01633 647676 or email Cwmbran.library@torfaen.gov.uk
Torfaen Libraries look forward to welcoming our customers back safely into the libraries as part of our next phase of reopening.
