A Lib Dem councillor has welcomed the refurbishment at Highgate library to coincide with its 100th anniversary. Cllr Neil Williams, who represents Highgate on Haringey council, now wants the library service to keep up the momentum and is calling for Sunday openings as well.

Speaking on Sunday after the reopening of the library following its refurbishment, Lib Dem Leader Lynne Featherstone said:

“There is no doubt that Diana Edmonds, the Instant Libraries Team, and the local library groups have made huge strides. And I welcome Diana’s assurances that the library will be open on an extra day in the near future.”

Local councillor Neil Williams adds:

“Sunday opening is vital for the future of the library. The real course to a viable and vibrant library service must surely be through opening hours which meet the needs of modern lives, with people demanding an ever more flexible service, and other imaginative uses. The library must be there when people want to use it.”
