I seen the article in the Paisley Express today about the plans to close the Central Library and move it to Paisley Town Hall. I think the paisley daily Express put a wee bit of a negative spin on it for the front page but on further reading they said that the building where the Central Library is now will be converted into a Cultural Centre for Paisley, it looks a great idea and something which is worth having in the town although the museum and library will have to close down for necessary work for this to take place.

The Paisley Central library is to move to the Paisley Town Hall “please note none of these plans are finalised as yet it maybe only speculation at this stage” and the Paisley Museum will close for 2 years for vital refurbishment.

I wonder what kind of things the new cultural centre would accommodate “would maybe the thread mill museum be redundant???” and what would you like to see in the cultural centre?

Anyways I think its a positive move for Paisley and if done properly it will be an excellent use of these buildings.
