Gwaun cae Gurwen library will reopen its doors this week for safe browsing.

The library, based in the community centre, has been opening every Wednesday and Saturday for its order and collect service, but from this Wednesday, May 12, the doors will be opening up to the public for safe browsing every Wednesday and Saturday.

Lucy Harrison, library co-ordinator said: "Please come and support our community library returning to the new normal. We cannot wait to see our customers in person.

"We have Covid safety measures in place including compulsory mask-wearing, social distancing by limiting admittance, protective screens and hand sanitizing. Our IT facilities will not be available at the moment."

The usual order and collect service will remain in place alongside the open doors.

The library has given an update on its virtual events.

Lucy said: "We are having so much fun with our Novels at Night virtual book club. There are over 30 members of the group, which is growing weekly.

"We've already had best-selling author Christie Barlow making a guest appearance and subsequent check-ins with us and we have lots more author visits lined-up with Erin Green joining us on Wednesday, May 12 at 7.30pm.

"We can't wait to meet these talented writers who give us behind the pages glimpses into their writing, inspiration and life in the Rom Com lit world."

The library also runs two weekly virtual sessions - Amser Canu with Sian from Menter Iaith Castell Nedd. They run from 10am every other Thursday from May 13. Join in with your little ones to enjoy some Welsh singing and rhymes, camers can be on or off. For more details get in touch by calling 01269 825904 or email orders@gcglibrary.co.uk.
