Royal date for library staff in flood-hit Cockermouth

Royal date for library staff in flood-hit Cockermouth
Staff who set up a temporary library in a Cumbrian church when devastating floods struck, have been invited to a Royal tea party at Buckingham Palace.

The temporary library proved to be a vital resource as affected families and businesses were given internet access as well as photocopying and printing facilities.

Work is ongoing at Cockermouth Library to dry out the building and repair the damage and it is hoped the building will be up and running again in the next few months.
