Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Marcus Garvey Library isn't likely to re-open in February 2016 as promised by Haringey Council
Now, I have received an update from Councillor Jason Arthur that the library (and the customer centre) re-opening isn't likely to be happening on the planned date of 29th February. The reason for the delay are that the construction work has encountered a number of structural issues.
Councillor Arthur added that an update about the continued closure of the library and the new date for its re-opening will be released soon.

Mr Ball's post is more than confirmed by my own information.
Building work will not be completed until mid-April.
There will then be hand-over to the Council, a period of about a fortnight.
Therefore the former Marcus Garvey library may re-open in early May.
Building use will then be dominated by the Customer Service Centre (displaced from Apex House); the residual library function will dominated by rows of PCs. It is understood there will be some books, especially around the walls of the ground floor.
Tottenham's library will then have been closed for eight months.

Libraries do need to reinvent themselves now. I have the entire Wikipedia on my phone as an app and it takes up 8GB.
