Guardian Series : 20th July Buckhurst Hill Library to open two extra days each week The library will be open and fully staffed by Essex County Council  Library staff on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9am until 5pm.   The extended hours are thanks to a partnership between Buckhurst Hill Parish Council and Essex County Council that will see both organisations share accommodation.
