November 2010
Over 80 visitors came and helped us test the refurbished ground floor of the Mile End Library on Tuesday 30 November. A big thank you to all of you who came to help us test the new facilities and equipment and try out the new furniture.
We are going through the feedback forms we received to identify those things you really liked and those we need to try and improve further. You told us that you really like the whole look and feel of the space, the technology and in particular, the group study rooms.
