Caerphilly County Borough Council has confirmed library staff are being supported after a 74-year-old man died in Ystrad Mynach Library last week.

Emergency services were called to the library on Friday September 29, where the man was pronounced dead.

“Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time and we are also supporting the library employees who were present.”
