Notice of closure of the Reference and Local Studies Library from 12th November 2012.

In Spring 2013, a big project will get underway to redevelop the County Library. This will involve some major building work and the new library will look completely different, inside and outside. The redevelopment is expected to take 18 to 24 months, but will result in a more modern building that will be easier to access and use.

In order to prepare for the total evacuation of this building, a phased shut down of all services occured before a full Lending service was resumed from Monday 10th December, operating from the Community Learning building, located off the car park at the rear of the Library. 

The Local Studies service will be available again, to the public, from the new Pembrokeshire Records Office in Prendergast, after the building officially opens, which is currently scheduled for the early Spring of 2013. Please check this website for updates/further details.
