Three more Stockport libraries, Edgeley, Great Moor and Reddish, will benefit from Open+ technology introduced from this week.
Open+ allows residents to use the library for extra hours each week, outside staffed hours, extending access to book borrowing services, library computers and free WiFi access. From next week this new service is being introduced to better serve three more communities in Stockport who rely on the wide range of services libraries offer.
Kirsteen Roe, Service Director for Citizen Focus, said:
“Open+ is a great way for residents to get the most out of their local library. Once locals have signed up the scheme they can use the library at a time convenient to them, making our services more available to those who may not be able to use the library during staffed hours.”
After registering, Stockport library users can use Open+ facilities at any library where you’ve taken an induction tour. To register, Call into one of the Open+ libraries with proof of identity and proof of address and take an Open+ tour.
Over 3,000 Stockport residents have already signed up to Open+, which is now available in 12 of Stockport’s 16 libraries: Bramhall, Bredbury, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove, Heatons, Heald Green, High Lane, Edgeley, Great Moor, Reddish and Marple.
Visitors using the libraries in Open+ hours will find them brightly lit and welcoming, with the added reassurance of monitored CCTV coverage. See your local library opening times to see when your Stockport library is open and staffed as well as Open+ here.
