THE Friends of Thame Library have responded to the news that Thame’s town hall is being considered for conversion to a new library.
In a statement today, the ‘Friends’ say: “We are pleased to hear that at long last there are further developments on the site for the town library.
“In principle, the Town Hall would appear to be a site with promise. But it should be considered in the light of reasonable alternatives, such as the Pied Pedaller site.
“However, it is not reasonable to give any further comment on the Town Hall option without further details being made available.
“As the Friends of Thame Library have been urging for many months, the County, and more specifically the County Librarian, should ? just as her predecessors did ? be prepared to come and present sufficient details to the Friends of Thame Library and members of the public in Thame as well as to the Town Council.
“In such ways members of the public will be able to give their voice. Further delay to this process of information and discussion is unacceptable for this key project for Thame.”
