Brynhyfryd Library is reopening from 3.30pm today (Fri 15 January) after its refit, so pop in to borrow the new books, CDs and DVDs on offer.

There's also a soft seating area, study desks as well as fresh carpet, shelving and a special children's area.  The heating system has been replaced too, which is good news this winter!
