Hailsham Library to undergo refurbishment

The work at Hailsham Library, which begins on Monday, January 25, will see the existing single-storey extension demolished and replaced with a bright, modern replacement.

The scheme will create a flexible library space which customers can use for study and relaxation, to browse books from the library or access online services on their laptop computer, tablet or other mobile device.

The new extension, which overlooks the Jubilee Garden, can also be used to showcase collections and events which are of interest to customers or the local community.

Work is due to continue until the end of March. The library will remain open while the building work is carried out. The refurbishment programme has previously seen the library redecorated and a new carpet installed.
