Wednesday, 18 February 2026 09:53

Ketton Library re-opens today after refurbishments, which has taken place as part of Rutland County Council's Living Well Rutland programme.

The work across the county's libraries to improve facilities is believed to have cost around £1,000,000. There's a brand new family and community learning space alongside a new kitchen and refreshed library facilities. The area's also been re-decorated. Uppingham Library is hoped to reopen mid-April with services continuing for now in the Town Hall. Ryhall Library meanwhile is closed just for today for electricity work. It should reopen as normal tomorrow.
