Lancaster Central Library will be closed for oen week from Monday 27 April, re-opening on 5 May, offering a reduced service from the Junior Library on New Street.

The work is the initial stage of major re-development for the Library now in progress, the result of it securing Lottery funding.

The work means that upcoming Get it Loud in Libraries gigs will take place elsewhere in the District. Kristin Hersh will appear at the new Storey, Lancaster on 23 May and British Sea Power will perform at Morecambe Library on 7th August. More info at www.myspace.com/getitloudinlibraries
