I am delighted to realise that after many years of near obsolescence the upstairs room in the library will return to full public use.
However, perhaps owing to the paucity of chartered librarians in Hounslow these days, the decision to move the Library itself to the 1st floor is completely contrary to best professional practice whereby libraries should be in the midst of their public, immediately obvious and easily entered.
In particular public libraries should not be hidden away from young children if they are to become an integral part of their lives and reading a standard skill.
So, Cllr Sampson, please continue with your plans to refurbish the building, moving the library only temporarily upstairs whilst it is being done up, but then make your classrooms upstairs and keep the libraries - adults and children's - close to the street and those who pass it may be encouraged to step inside.
