Work on new £2million Derbyshire library gets under way
CONSTRUCTION work on a £2.4 million library in Ashbourne has started.
Derbyshire County Council leader Andrew Lewer laid a foundation stone accompanied by local poet Laureate Matt Black, who read out a poem he wrote about the ceremony.
The new library will replace the council’s old library in Cokayne Avenue and will be almost twice the size.
It will stock more books and DVDs, have more computers, a better children’s library and room for community activities.
