New library and learning centre to open on South Walks
Dorchester City Council will open a new library and learning centre on South Walks, which is designed to provide better and more accessible facilities.
Spread over three floors, the library and learning centre will feature an improved children’s library area with a family learning room, public access computers and self-service units for book, CD and DVD issues. Apart from that it also features areas for reading, quiet study, and browsing.
For adult learning, it will offer three multi-functional classrooms, an IT suite and a family learning room. When not in use, the classrooms will be available for use as meeting rooms by local community organisations.
In addition to that, the building will have toilets, baby changing facilities, and access to all floors.
The new centre will open its doors to the public on 19 July 2013.
