Official opening of remodelled library

On Thursday 5 September 2019, the Dinas Powys Library & Activity Centre held its official event to mark the reopening of the remodelled/modernised library and the new café and function room. Special guest who spoke of the importance of community projects like this included Wynne Evans (opera singer, radio broadcaster, Mr GoCompare), Jane Hutt AM for the Vale of Glamorgan, and Lis Burnett (Deputy Leader of Vale of Glamorgan Council). Wynne Evans also sang a little song that filled the library space with music. The photos below also feature Julie Morgan AM, and Chris Franks and Keith Hatton (library trustees):

Family Fun Day

This afternoon, Dinas Powys Library & Activity Centre held its Family Fun Day. Visitors saw the community library's new coffee shop and renovations, and a wide range of stalls and activities outside. Here are some photos of the event.

Dinas Powys Library reopens

This morning, the new IT was installed and the doors opened at the refurbished library. There are now more computer terminals for library users, and a function room that can be hired for diverse activities. The Coffee Shop will be opening in the near future.

Some photos from this morning.

Toasting the completion of library renovations

On Friday, trustees and volunteers met in Dinas Powys Library & Activity Centre (Diplac) to see the results of the renovation work, which has been carried out by Precision Construction. It just needs the IT to be put in place, before the library re-opens at 10 am on Monday 29 April. The renovation work has been part-funded by the European Union (EAFRD) through Welsh Ministers.

Here trustees and volunteers toast the completion of the work (and help behind the counter in the new kitchen/coffee bar area), while other photos show the new function room and the traditional library stacks.

These recent photos show the ongoing remodelling work going on in Dinas Powys Library & Activity Centre, a volunteer-run community library in the Vale of Glamorgan. The project is partly-funded by the European Union through Welsh Government Ministers. In the first photo, Clare Richardson.
