On Friday 27th March we have a tour of the new Margate Public Library followed by a visit to Ramsgate Public Library. At the end of the tours we will hold our committee meeting.
We plan to meet at Margate Library at 10.00 am. Train stations and car parking are reasonably close to both libraries. Hopefully we can travel between the two libraries by car, so if you are coming along and have any spaces please let me know.
Margate Library is situated in the newly refurbished Thanet Gateway Plus building. Ramsgate Library recently reopened following a fire in 2004 the building has been fully refurbished.
