The north Suffolk library will be extending its opening hours from May.

The new opening times will see the library open for longer on Wednesday afternoons, but closing earlier on Friday evenings.

The changes, approved by the libraries board and Suffolk County Council come following calls from customers and will come into effect from May 20.

Suffolk Libraries confirmed however it will remain closed on Monday despite the longer opening hours and that future events are unaffected.

Mathew Sheldrick, library manager, said: “The change to Brandon Library’s opening hours brings our opening times more in line with other services within the Brandon centre.

“It also enables us to extend our service offer on a Wednesday where it has been busier and process reservations more quickly.

“We have been trialling these changes already with great success.”
