Cutting the turf ceremony report

Wednesday 4th March 3.30pm

Building work started at Bush Hill Park Library today. Eight-year- old Sara Kaminska from Bush Hill Park School cut the first turf before works start in earnest.

Sara who really enjoys the library explained why she wanted to take part in this ceremony. She said, “Because I’ve been doing homework here and I was coming here every day and enjoying the computer and reading books.”

She was joined by some of her friends, parents, library staff, school staff from Bush Hill Park School and builders managing the site.

Bush Hill Park Library is currently closed for upgrading and refurbishment and will reopen late Autumn 2009.

The updated library will be twice as large as the old one with a music studio, more PCs, a better space for children and young people and a community room.

A mobile library service is operating while the library is closed: Saturday 10.00am - 12noon Main Avenue (near the library)


If you wish to be involved with the new Bush Hill Park project our next Adult Board meeting (being run by Team Leader Rupert Colley rupert.colley@enfield.gov.uk or 0208 379 8340) is at the Lincoln Arms Tuesday 10th March, starting at 6.30pm. Hopefully see you there!
