Exciting times ahead for Swansea! 🎉 Swansea’s main library is gearing up for a big move as part of the city’s groundbreaking £1bn regeneration scheme. The library will close its doors on October 20 and reopen in the new state-of-the-art community hub, Y Storfa, set to launch later in 2025.
Y Storfa, located on Oxford Street, will not just house the library but also host several key services, including the West Glamorgan Archive Service and Swansea University’s South Wales Miners’ Library. The move promises to create a vibrant central hub where learning, support, and community events can flourish.
Library-goers, don’t worry! During the transition, you can still visit the city’s other 16 libraries, and all your current memberships and borrowed items are good to go. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on the reopening date!
Council Leader Rob Stewart shares, “The move to Y Storfa is about creating a central hub for learning, support, and community. It’s also set to boost city centre footfall, attracting more shops and businesses.”
Stay tuned for more updates as Swansea continues on its exciting journey of transformation! 📚✨ #SwanseaRegeneration #CommunityHub #SwanseaLibrary
