Abertillery Library’s £300,000 Refurbishment.
Abertillery Library has reopened its doors after a £300,000 refurbishment grant from CYMAL, the Libraries, Museums and Archives body for Wales.
The library now offers better use of space, and provides a more comfortable and contemporary environment for its customers.
There are also 12 PCs for public use, all of which are available free of charge. The library has also made full use of available technology with the implementation of two self-service terminals where customers can issue and return books independently, and manage their accounts.
