Scheme to improve present building


CLITHEROE’S library could be improved satisfactorily at a cost of only £2,000, it was revealed at a special meeting of the Public Library Committee, on Tuesday, when a pro­ posal to transfer the department to former motor showroom premises in King Lane was defeated.


The Borough Surveyor,


Councillor James Newton Bell, said the existing build­ ing could be a lt e r e d to include a reference room, children’s department and reading room in the present reading room; a librarian’s office in the existing refer­ ence room, further toilet accommodation in the base­ ment and improvements to
