LONGER opening hours for Carnforth library got the stamp of approval from Lancashire County Council's Cabinet.

From July 2018 the Lancaster Road building will open 35 hours each week, including late nights on Tuesdays till 7pm.

Members of the public had eight weeks to share their views on opening times at 47 libraries across Lancashire. The consultation did not include recently reopened libraries such as Silverdale and Bolton-le-Sands.
