Since taking over the management and ownership of the library in 2017, the Parish Council has been fortunate to secure the services of over 60 volunteers to help run library services and activities. In addition, the Parish Council have appointed a Library Manager and Volunteer Coordinator to oversee existing book lending ad help develop a range of new activities.
Should anyone have any comments about existing services or ideas for new services, please
contact the Parish Clerk.
Refurbishment
In 2019 Burley Library underwent a schedule of internal and external works to improve facilities and preserve the library as a community asset. Funded by the Parish Council with grants for new furniture and shelving from village partners, the library is now a fresh, modern and inviting space that can also be hired outside of opening hours.
