 An earlier trial brought in a wide range of users |
One of Cumbria's main libraries is to open on Sunday afternoons during the coming year, following a successful four-month trial. The additional weekend opening hours at Penrith library are designed to make visits easier.
Cumbria County Council will also run library links to two local shops and sub-post offices on a pilot basis.
Computer access to council services and a library catalogue will be available at outlets in Melmerby and Lazonby.
"This important development will improve the availability of, and access to, a wide range of our services and make sure that people in rural areas can access the same service as people in town," said Gary Strong, from the county council.
The council has earmarked an extra �250,000 for improvements to library and archive services after a best value review.
