Pontesbury Library Relocation – Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the library moving to?

The library is moving to a new community hub building called the Pavilion. This is next to the new Co-op supermarket on Hall Bank.

When is the library moving?

The library will be closed from Monday 23rd March for 2 weeks while the move takes place. It will re-open in the Pavilion on Monday 6th April.

What if I need to return things while the library is closed?

Loan periods have been extended so that most library items shouldn’t be due back during the closed period. However you can renew things online or at any other Shropshire library, or by telephoning Shrewsbury Library (01743 255308).

If you do wish to return items while we’re closed you can take them to any other Shropshire Library, or drop them through the letterbox here and we’ll deal with them.

Will my library membership still be valid at the new library?

Yes there will be no change to library memberships.

Will I still be able to request books from other library branches?

Yes Pontesbury Library will remain part of the Shropshire Libraries network as it is now, meaning library users can request books and other items as required.

What days will the new library be open?

The library opening times will remain the same as they are now. In the future there may be scope to increase access to library services within the new building.

Will the same staff be at the new library?

Staffing arrangements will remain the same. The library would continue to be staffed by Shropshire Council library staff as it is now.

What services will the new library have? Will I still be able to use the computers there?

The library will continue to provide the full range of services and facilities including free access to public computers and wi-fi, a wide selection of books and other items to borrow, and events and activities for adults and children.
