was revamped last years. £1,000's spent on a refurb.
It now has flashy PC's and touch screens but the reference library upstairs has gone.
No more access to the complete WANHM archive or rare archaeo books.
If you want something from the ref library you have to ask for it and they will get it out of storage for you within a week.
My request for "Any books with a reference to Silbury and/or Avebury that I haven't read yet" was refused as being too vague.

thats sad about no access to the archaeo books and the reference library going but I suppose times are changing...
Pete, what is happening about the post office in Avebury, someone said its closing in March, what will happen to the building, is it NT property?

Dick is retiring from the PO in October.
Another local is trying to take it over but the PO have it earmarked for closure in 2008 anyway.
The shop belongs to the NT.
As the NT have stopped camping in their car park people have moved into the village car park for pagan festivals (which seem to be every other week at the moment)
The shop will be closed over these weekends.
