Charminster Library

We have an update following the temporary closure of Charminster Library last month.
Councillor Andy Martin, Cabinet Member with responsibility for libraries said:
“Charminster Library is moving a step closer to reopening as essential safety work continues behind the scenes.
“Following a partial ceiling collapse in a non-public area on the evening of 19 December, thorough inspections have found additional fixtures that require securing.
“This essential safety work is progressing well, and repairs to the ceiling and final clean up will soon begin.
“We expect the library to reopen in the second week of February 2026 and will update residents as work progresses.
“Ensuring the safety of staff and visitors remains our highest priority, and we are grateful for the community’s patience and understanding during this temporary closure.”

This is our last week of children's crafting for Christmas. Drop in anytime to make a North Pole mini scene and some paper ornaments. See if you can spot the naughty Elf and go on a scavenger hunt.
