Crompton Library – reduced opening hours due to Covid-19

I have been informed by the Council that due to low staffing levels, as a result of positive Covid cases and other sickness related absences they have had to reduce the opening hours temporarily for Royton, Lees, Failsworth, Crompton and Uppermill libraries.

They will now close at 5pm on Mondays to Thursdays, instead of 7pm. The footfall in the evenings is extremely low and hope that this short term measure will not prove to be too much of an inconvenience for customers.  They will review again in a few weeks and aim to have the hours fully reinstated by February.

All other libraries’ opening hours are unaffected and ensures we still have an evening offer across the network, especially Oldham where we are busiest .
