The Records Office is a valuable source of information for many local residents and this funding follows on from the £300,000 provided by the Welsh Assembly to redevelop Connah's Quay Library, this clearly demonstrates the Welsh Assembly Government’s commitment to improving library services in Alyn & Deeside.”
