Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey. Sunday was the day when people were least likely to visit a library, so we will no longer open on Sundays. People told us that they wanted to see more consistent opening hours, and longer opening on Saturdays and Wednesday evenings. We have introduced these new opening hours to reflect what library users asked for in a public survey that we ran earlier this year.
