Wick library hours to double in school move
OPENING hours of Wick Library are set to more than double when it relocates to the new Wick High School campus, which is due to open in a year’s time.
High Life Highland (HLH), which operates the library service, said the public opening times will increase from 42 hours a week to 87 hours following the move.
The hours of Wick swimming pool and gym, which HLH also operates, will also see a slight increase from 76½ a week to 87.
Both facilities will be open from 7am to 10pm on Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday.
The swimming pool in Martha Terrace and the Carnegie Library in Sinclair Terrace, which incorporates St Fergus Gallery, will be declared surplus following the opening of the new school.
Highland Council owns both buildings and is inviting expressions of interest to take them over.
