Transcript of The start of a new chapter · Willesden Green Library Centre (WGLC) and we hope to be able to start...
The start of a new chapterBrent Council’s planning committee has agreed to the redevelopment of Willesden Green Library Centre (WGLC) and we hope to be able to start construction very soon.
In order to minimise disruption to our customers we are preparing for the interim library service facilities now as we plan to close the WGLC at the end of April.
The council has prepared a detailed schedule of closures and relocations to ensure core services are maintained, described in this leaflet.
Services will be delivered from George Furness House and the Lewinson Centre from 29 April, the last day at Willesden Green Library Centre is the 25 April 2013.
