Libraries, galleries and museums may be affected by strike action

Several of Aberdeen’s cultural facilities are likely to be closed or offering a reduced on Wednesday [30 November] if planned nationwide industrial action goes ahead.

The Central Library will be closed to the public. Some branch libraries are expected to open, but customers should call to check before visiting. The library telephone numbers are available on the council website at www.aberdeencity.gov.uk

Provost Skene's House will be closed.

Aberdeen Art Gallery, including the café and shop, is expected to be open though some rooms may be temporarily closed at lunch time. A lunchtime talk on Rembrandt etchings has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for the new year.

A limited service will be on offer at the Maritime Museum, though some rooms will be closed.

All council schools will be closed to pupils and members of the public, except for groups which are not run by council staff which meet in the 3Rs schools – Cults and Bucksburn academies and Airyhall, Braehead, Mile End, Hazlehead, Heathryburn, Manor Park, Seaton and Kaimhill primaries. If in doubt, members of the public should call to check that the meetings are going ahead before attending.

No waste collections will be made on Wednesday if the strike goes ahead. Alternative arrangements have been made.
