Modernisation of the Neubeckum public library

Craftsmen are now in charge

All the media have disappeared from the shelves. After the team at the public library sorted out and gave away several hundred items over the past few weeks, the moving boxes have now been packed for storage. The workmen are now in charge at the Neubeckum public library.

In order to present an even more attractive modern library on Gottfried-Polysius-Strasse with new furniture, a self-service area and round-the-clock outdoor returns from next year, the major refurbishment has begun. This also includes the installation of a lift.

Anyone who needs new reading material can continue to stock up at the Beckum public library. The reading pass is also valid there or can be exchanged free of charge for a reading pass from the Beckum public library.

In Neubeckum, the Friends of the Neubeckum Public Library remain active. The team continues to offer regular reading and craft afternoons for children, young people and adults in the Verve neighbourhood living room. These events are also extended to include outdoor reading programmes at various locations in Neubeckum.

The city of Beckum will report regularly on the progress of construction work.
