ASBESTOS ISSUE SORTED, SO GRIMSBY CENTRAL LIBRARY SET TO REOPEN EARLY IN NEW YEAR

The central library - health risk now nearing elimination


GRIMSBY Central Library is due to open in the middle of January following repairs.

Grimsby Central Library temporarily closed in November as a precaution after a routine asbestos  inspection identified issues in the entrance foyer and lending library.

The building is owned by North East Lincolnshire Council but operated by a partner-organisation, Lincs Inspire.

A joint statement issued today by the two organisations reads: "Repair works are progressing well and we expect to reopen the library by mid-January.

"Thank you to all library users for their patience during the temporary closure.

"An update will be issued in the New Year when we will confirm the opening date."

The statement continues: "Our regeneration partner Equans and contractors carried out air sampling, and no risks have been identified that would cause concern to our staff, customers or partners who use the building."

In the meantime, the libraries in Cleethorpes, Waltham and Immingham are open as usual along with the online eLibrary service.
