Significant repairs to Lanark Library's roof and windows have been completed, supported in part by South Lanarkshire Council's Transformation Fund.

The project, focused on the Category B Listed building on Hope Street, also drew on investment identified in the council administration's budget.

Council Leader Joe Fagan said: "This beautiful Edwardian building badly needed investment, and I am delighted at the improvements that have been made.

"While Capital Investment was the main funding source, the Transformation Fund also ensured that these much-needed works could be completed."

Susan Nicoll, Community Librarian for the Clydesdale Area, based at Lanark Library, said: "Lanark Library is a vibrant and welcoming place to promote and nurture, health and wellbeing, digital and social inclusion and to help combat loneliness and isolation.

"We are a place of knowledge, from which stems ideas, creativity, discussion and friendship.

"This is the true value of the renovation work to our team and library community."
