Over-heated Library
Along with most people, I'm disappointed at the reduction in hours for the library (because of the spending cuts)
As a regular lunchtime visitor this Spring-like week, I've been amazed that the building's heating has remained on at full pelt. I realise that it's probably quite cold first thing in the morning, and that by posting this we'll probably end up with another cold spell,but surely quite a few bob could be saved by turning the thermostat down a few degrees. If you looked closely, you'd probably see the plants growing extra leaves in front of you[:)]
Might help HCC's Carbon targets a tad if it was turned down (or off)? (do they have any?)

The problem with the heating is that if it gets turned off its takes a while for it to cool down. Then a change in the weather means turning it on again and it takes a further couple of days to heat up the building. It has always been a problem but I expect it will be switched off soon. It will be wonderfully controlled in the new library!

I don’t know if the new library has been officially handed over by the builders yet but didn’t I read a while back that the council did not have the money to fit it out?

The library was handed over last July I believe and is currently being fitted out.
