Stratford Library to
become more user friendly
The Stratford Library is about
to undergo a series of improvements to make it more accessible to
the wider community.
The improvements, which are being carried out under the
Disability Discrimination Act, will see electrical and PA systems
upgraded, as well as the installation of a visual alarm system for
people with hearing impairment.
Newham's member for Equality and Social inclusion, Cllr Neil
Wilson, said the improvements will make the Library more
accessible.
He said: "Newham is the most diverse borough in London and we're
determined to make our facilities accessible to all.
"By investing in these improvements, we're ensuring that the
wonderful resources our library has on offer can be enjoyed by
all."
The works are scheduled to take approximately one month, but
disruption to services is being kept to a minimum.
At present, it's planned for the library to be closed on the
following dates:
- Sunday July 5 & Monday July 6
- Sunday July 12 & Monday July 13
- Sunday July 19 & Monday July 20
- Sunday July 26 & Monday July 27
The Library will be open from 8am to 8pm every Tuesday during this
period to make-up for the scheduled closures.
