Some updates on the new library flooring

See the library mid renovations, and a huge thanks to everyone who has volunteered

Today is the beginning of our renewal. Whickham Library is now closed, until Wednesday 30th September. Until then, if you need to contact us, then message here on Facebook, or email the library at whickhamlibrary@gateshead.gov.uk, or phone on 0191 4336424. We'll be checking emails, messages and voicemails, and will get back to you. We'll be thrilled to welcome everyone back to see the results of our exciting library re-fit. See you soon!
