The Library is closed for repairs to the ceiling in the adult section which has collapsed - old high ceiling, nothing to do with the recent works. From one of the Library Friends.

Library closure update (unofficial) - work is progressing on fixing the ceiling ahead of reopening.  The plaster across half the adult library ceiling has been removed, exposing the wooden laths. Today (Sunday 3 July) work was ongoing.

The last time I looked, about a week ago, what could be seen from outside was a 50cm x 50cm or so section of plaster which had peeled away from its support, in the corner of the ceiling closest to the entrance. So that's quite a bit of work taking off the rest of that plaster, and protecting everything underneath the ceiling.
