Construction News Image
Construction work has commenced on £35,000 upgrade project for Inverurie Library in Aberdeenshire.

The project will see a series of sensory improvements installed, along with a new tourist information area, and new furniture and fittings.

As part of the works, a sensory area will also be created within the library. There will be a 'bubble wall' at the issue desk, a sensory wall and sensory experience which includes a sight and sensory panel and a softly-lit table for exploration in the children's area.

Sharon Jamieson, Aberdeenshire Council's Libraries and Information Services Manager, said: "I am delighted that some of these new and experimental works are taking place. This is a significant investment of almost £35,000 to provide a new and exciting library experience for the community of Inverurie and surrounding areas. We know some people may experience some inconvenience due to the closure but I hope that any frustrations are mitigated by what will be a fantastic and improved space which will help children explore, play and have even more fun at their local library."

Work is expected to be completed by 07 July.

The library will be closed for the duration of the works and will reopen on 09 July.
