Issue 64 - December 2019 & January 2020

New look Seville Grove Library opening soon!

It is with much anticipation and excitement that the Seville Grove Library will reopen to the public on Tuesday 26 November.

The building and interior has been modernised with a fresh new layout, and like the other City of Armadale Libraries, this facility now has all the aspects of a modern-day library, yet at its heart lies the core of what a traditional library should be – a trusted space, open to all, where people come to explore and share the joys of reading, information, knowledge and culture.

We appreciate the community’s patience during the closure, and we are looking forward to welcoming both old and new members to the library.
