Rhymney Library is set to be transformed into a community hub as part of a £289,000 refurbishment.
The revamp will see a new layout in the library, which will include a children’s space, a laptop lounge and a Welsh language book collection.
Council money will also be spent on improving and preserving the Idris Davies collection, as well as creating a space for partners of the council to use – for example, Gwent Police could hold surgeries at the hub.
