IMPROVEMENTS

Improvements to the Asfordby ICT Centre were unveiled on Tuesday 6th June 2006. Head of Library Service, Margaret Bellamy, celebrated the changes with a short ceremony and cutting of a ribbon.

Visitors to the centre can now use the new access ramp and automatic door that has improved the entry to the study centre.

Facilities for computer users have also been expanded. The study centre now has two extra flat screen computers, which will enhance the service at busy times.

Opening times are :
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 4-8pm
Friday and Saturday 9-12am

Use of the computers at the ICT Centre is free, please go along and take a look at what is on your doorstep. For young people doing homework there is a member of staff available to help direct study.

If you are interested in learning how to use the Internet, drop in and we can offer you an hour of tuition, free of charge, to get you started.
