Sale Library will be reopening its door’s this Friday
The refurbishment, made possible by public funding from Arts Council England, has completely revamped the library and foyer area of Sale Waterside, creating a modern, welcoming environment for residents and visitors.
As part of the works, the library layout has been redesigned to improve accessibility and the visitor experience, with new furniture, digital facilities and an under-five’s corner with its own ‘big book stage’ for storytime and rhymetime sessions.
Staff have been working tirelessly to restock the shelves, ensuring the library is ready to welcome back visitors from 10am on Friday morning, with over 25,000 books waiting to be explored.
A refreshed foyer area will provide a welcoming reception space for visitors to the wider Waterside building, helping to create a vibrant cultural and community hub in the heart of Sale.
The library will also feature a new permanent exhibition devoted to the Cosgrove Hall Films Archive, celebrating the local animation studio behind much-loved characters like Danger Mouse and Count Duckula. In addition, a dedicated exhibition cube near the entrance of library will house Cosgrove Hall’s Postman Pat and his iconic sorting office, providing a charming display for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
Residents are invited to explore the newly transformed Sale Library from Friday 7 November, open Monday to Saturday. The exciting new exhibition space for Cosgrove Hall Films Archive will open to the public later this year.
