Important information
The Dukeries Academy is developing a new school building which will not include a public library facility. This is due to school security and safeguarding arrangements. The Dukeries Library will be no longer accessible to the public after Friday 27th March. Inspire wish to ensure every member of the Dukeries Library continues to have access to public library facilities so we will be increasing the opening hours at Ollerton Library. To ensure these new hours reflect the needs of the local community they welcome your views. To have your say, pick up a form from Dukeries or Ollerton Libraries or contact at ask@inspireculture.org.uk for an email survey. The consultation is open until Sunday 15th February.
