## **Questions** 

It was asked why the library had not opened as a Warm Space on Fridays. PKN explained that it was useful to have a whole weekday when the library was closed for maintenance etc. AH said it was also useful for school visits and that both Sketchley Hill and Burbage Juniors had visited the library at times. It also meant that the library could be booked by other groups on that day. 

Angela Nollet said that newcomers to Burbage often came to the library  for  information  about  the  area.  She  offered  to  collate information about local services such as lunch clubs.
