The Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín has officially opened the Falls Road Library.

This follows the recent official opening of the Shankill library in December.

The £770,000 Falls refurbishment marked the beginning of the capital investment promised for the Belfast area after the recent Strategic Review of the library estate in Greater Belfast. The Falls Road Library, along with the Shankill and Whiterock Road libraries were earmarked as the first of the Belfast libraries to receive investment.

Speaking at the opening the Minister said: "The Falls Road Library is a prime example of the excellent investment being made in the public library service.

"The much needed improvements have revitalised this library enabling it to provide a modern, vibrant library service, offering an enhanced range of books and other services. Together, we are working to deliver the library service that people both deserve and need. People of the Falls Road both deserve and need the best public facilities."
