Following extensive refurbishment, Executive Member for Sport, Culture and Leisure, Cllr Nigel Howells formally opened the library by cutting a ribbon and making a thank you and welcome speech.
Since re-opening to the public in the summer, the library has seen over a thousand new customers, an 84% increase in average monthly visits
The £1m pound refurbishment funded by Cardiff Council, with an additional grant of £300,000 from the Welsh Assembly Government, includes an improved layout highlighting the dramatic architectural features complimented by modern furniture and a vibrant colours scheme.
Executive Member for Sport, Culture and Leisure, Cllr Nigel Howells said: “Feedback from members of Cathays Library has been very positive and the increase of people using the service proves why it is so important for the Council to continue to invest in libraries”
