Letter: New library is not fit for purpose

The new library in Halifax is not fit for purpose. It is too small. The old library had storage facilities for the books they couldn't put on the shelves.

If you wanted a particular book they would go and retrieve from the store. It would take about 15 minutes.

The new library has no store. All the books not on the shelves are kept in storage at the old Heath school building.

I requested a book on January 11 and today (January 23) am still waiting to collect it. Please investigate who has built the library too small.

You would have thought the brief would be to build a building equal or better than the old library. This is not the case. How much did it cost? We should be told.
