📚✨ Exciting News for Merthyr Tydfil! After five long years, Treharris Library is ready to welcome you back! 📖🎉
Having first opened its doors 117 years ago, this historic gem has undergone a much-needed makeover. The once-unsteady extension is gone, making way for a modernised library with state-of-the-art heating, fresh mechanical ventilation, and beautiful, restored stained-glass windows. Plus, the iconic external clock is back in all its glory! 🕰️🔧
Join us in celebrating on Monday, March 30th, just in time for the Easter holidays. 🎈 The library’s new schedule is designed to fit your busy life—visit any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday from 9:30 am to 5 pm (closed for lunch 1-2 pm). 🗓️⏰
Friday’s grand re-opening was a memorable affair. The Lord Lieutenant, High Sheriff, Dawn Bowden MS, local councillors, and even descendants of the original founder joined in the festivities. 🎶 Young voices from Edwardsville Primary School added to the joy with their delightful singing.
Councillor Brent Carter couldn’t be prouder of this transformation, saying the refurbishment has truly breathed new life into the building. Dawn Bowden MS expressed her honour in playing a part in this reopening, while Linsey Barrett, our principal librarian, hopes the renewed space will become a beloved hub for all generations. 🏛️❤️
This library is more than just a building—it’s the vibrant heart of our community. We’re eager to see it bustling with families and book lovers once again. So, grab your reading list and pop by to check out the new digs! 📚💼
