Facelift for Rothesay library

Amazingly, bucking the trend of cuts and reductions to services, Argyll and Bute council has made big improvements to the library in Rothesay, which re-opened to the public on April 26th after being closed for two months of intensive improvement. New mobile shelving to make the space more flexible has been installed, as well as a new ceiling, flooring and lighting.

Pat McCann, Argyll and Bute’s culture and libraries manager, said the new library was a big improvement. ‘The people of Rothesay deserve a modern, user-friendly library, and that’s what they boast now,’ he said.

How does A and B do it? We’re baffled. But must admit, they are going ahead with ‘grouping’ Primary schools so that several of the smaller ones can be closed.
