Glan-yr-afon

Mae Canolfan Glan-yr-afon, a agorwyd yn 2018, yn brif gyfleuster diwyllianol sydd i’w chael yng nghanol tref Hwlffordd.

Dyma ganlyniad partneriaeth gyffrous rhwng Cyngor Sir Penfro a Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru, mae Glan-yr-afon yn cynnig:

Llyfrgell – Gofod yr 21ain ganrif sy’n cyfuno stoc lyfrau draddodiadol gyda mynediad ar-lein a thechnoleg hunanwasanaeth.

Oriel – Lleoliad o arwyddocâd cenedlaethol yn dod â rhai o drysorau’r genedl i’r sir mewn partneriaeth â Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru.

Gwybodaeth i Ymwelwyr – Stop cyntaf i ymwelwyr y sir, sy’n tynnu sylw at fannau gwyliau poblogaidd a gemau cudd.

Plant – Ardal ar thema castell, ynghyd â thŵr darllen i blant a wal stori ryngweithiol.

Y Bywydfan – Mae’r Hwb Bywyd: Ffyrdd o Wella Lles yn rhoi sylw i gyfoeth o wybodaeth ar ‘Iechyd a Lles’, a ‘Sgiliau Gwaith ac Arian’.

Siop Goffi – Lle perffaith i gwrdd â ffrindiau, i fwynhau llyfr neu i ymlacio gyda choffi a golygfa o lan yr afon.

Daeth arian i adeiladu’r cyfleuster o amrywiaeth o ffynonellau gan gynnwys Cyngor Sir Penfro, Llywodraeth Cymru, Sefydliad Wolfson, Sefydliad Foyle ac Awdurdod Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro.

Mae Cyngor Tref Hwlffordd wedi rhoi pecyn ariannu pum mlynedd er mwyn sicrhau bod y llyfrgell yn gallu agor ar brynhawniau Sadwrn drwy gydol y flwyddyn, yn wahanol i’r hen lyfrgell a oedd ond ar agor yn ystod y bore ar ddyddiau Sadwrn.
