Ensuring continuity of provision has been the priority
Erskine Library reopened in its new temporary home today (Monday November 9).
People are now able to access services from a building installed within the grounds of Erskine Sports Centre.
All of the physical and digital services which were previously available at the library’s former site in Bridgewater Shopping Centre can be accessed from the brand new building, offering bright, modern, comfortable accommodation for this important facility.
Councillor Lisa-Marie Hughes, Chair of library operator OneRen, said: “We are delighted that the move to Erskine Sports Centre has been completed.
“Our libraries team have done a fantastic job fitting out the new building. I am sure the community will enjoy everything the library has to offer.”
The temporary modular building has been installed by Renfrewshire Council.
Councillors previously agreed to the move - allowing for a short-to-medium term solution for library provision in Erskine - while the wider Reshaping Renfrewshire programme, reviewing the region’s leisure and cultural services delivered by OneRen, continues.
OneRen operates Renfrewshire’s network of 12 public libraries as part of its wider management of the region’s leisure and cultural services.
Erskine Library’s opening hours are
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday : 9:15am to 5:00pm, Tuesday : 9:15am to 8:00pm
