Charminster Library remains closed due to a partial ceiling collapse in December. BCP Council reports that extensive repairs are needed, but funding is not yet available. Investigations uncovered asbestos, roof deterioration, and obsolete ceiling-mounted radiators. Proposed renovations include asbestos removal, roof and ceiling repairs, and full refurbishment, with costs estimated at £680,000. Final figures depend on funding and contractor quotes, and repairs are expected to take about 20 weeks if approved. In the meantime, residents can access nearby libraries like Castlepoint and Winton, as well as online services for eBooks, audiobooks, and digital newspapers.
