The popular Dringhouses Library is set to benefit from expanded services, thanks to the local Lib Dem Council.

 If plans are agreed next week, the library will be transformed into an Explore Library, similar to New Earswick Library and the larger Explore Centres at Acomb and York Central Library. This will mean better facilities with new opportunities for learning and community events.

I’m really pleased that the local Lib Dems are looking to expand our library services. Most other Councils are closing their libraries so to be in a position to actually expand services is great news.

Dringhouses library is very popular with local residents and is an important part of our local community. The extra facilities will mean it has even more to offer local people.
