Mountsorrel’s new Library and Learning Centre is celebrating a second successful year with a special event on Monday 28th September 2009 at 2.40pm.
Since re-opening in October 2007, library membership and library use has doubled, library opening hours have been extended to include Monday afternoons, and adult learning classes, ranging from Tai Chi to ICT, now run regularly in the centre’s learning suite and community rooms.
The highlight of the event will be the unveiling of an architectural award by Roger Wilson, the Chairman of Leicestershire County Council. The award was presented by the Loughborough and District Civic Trust for conservation works and new build in a conservation area. The new Centre was constructed on the site of Church House built in 1905 as a community hall attached to Christchurch.
Roger Wilson, Chairman of the County Council, said.
"Mountsorrel Library and Leaning Centre is a valued resource, well used by the people of Mountsorrel and I am very pleased to mark its ongoing success and unveil the Philip Jordan award. The renovation of Church House and construction of a new library and learning centre has contributed towards the conservation of Mountsorrel’s heritage, and ensured the building’s ongoing use as a community resource."
The event also provides an opportunity to celebrate Older People’s month with guests from Mountsorrel Memorial Day Centre attending for a traditional tea followed by a performance story telling to roll back the years on the theme of ‘May Clements remembers'

Mondays and Thursdays 2 – 5pm; Tuesdays 10am – 12 noon, 2 – 5pm; Fridays 10am – 12 noon ,2 – 7pm; and Saturdays 9.30am – 1pm, 2-5pm.
