Marple Community Hub update - November 2024
We are excited to confirm that the temporary library provision in Marple Scout Hut Marple Memorial Drive, Marple Memorial Park, Marple is now available.
The temporary library provision is being provided for local people to access vital library services until the new hub is open.
The pop up library will open every Tuesday (12 midday to 6pm) and every Thursday (10am to 4pm) and during these times people will be able to borrow books, use a computer free of charge, speak to library staff and attend our Storytime every Thursday at 11am. Smart lockers will be provided outside the scout hut later this week so that residents can return their books and pick up reservations.
Residents can also access neighbouring libraries, including High Lane Library where from Friday 4th October we are adding in an additional staff day 10am to 4pm.
The library’s home delivery service continues in the Marple area for those who need it. And you can download the free BorrowBox app to access e-books, audiobooks, magazines and newspapers on our e-lending service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Once built, the new Marple Community Hub will have a brand-new ground floor library with a small café, a five-lane swimming pool, a 60-station fitness suite, shared community spaces, and the relocated Marple clinic.
