From 7th April 2014, opening hours will be as follows:

Barrow:  Closed Mondays; Open Tuesday-Friday 9.30-13.00, 14.00 – 17.00 and Wednesday evening 17.00-19.00.  Open the 1st Saturday every month 10.00 – 13.00, 14.00-16.00

Thanks for the update. Various libraries, where a lot of local and family history 'look ups' take place are also having reduced opening hours from the end of April 2014. With the council reducing staff numbers it was inevitable something was going to have to give.
