Lakenheath Library to change opening hours this week

Lakenheath Library is changing its opening hours this Friday (17 February).

The changes will benefit local people by providing longer opening hours on busier days to meet local demand. The library will close earlier on Friday evenings when the library has been quieter and will be open for the same number of hours overall.

The changes are also enabling Suffolk Libraries to launch a new weekly Wordplay session for pre-school children to enjoy songs and nursery rhymes. This new event will take place every Friday at 9.30am from 17 February onwards.

The change follows a consultation last year which invited library users to share their thoughts on the proposed changes.

The new hours starting Friday 17 February are as follows:

• Monday: Closed (no change)
• Tuesday: 10am to 2pm (no change)
• Wednesday: 2pm to 5pm (no change)
• Thursday: 12pm to 5pm (no change)
• Friday: 9am to 2pm (previously 2pm to 7pm)
• Saturday: 9am to 12am (previously 10am to 1pm)
• Sunday: 10am to 3pm (no change).

Books and other items can still be returned through the letterbox when the library is closed.

The change of hours affects the regular Knit & Natter group, which will now be hosted on alternate Thursdays between 2pm and 4pm starting from Thursday 16 February.
