Located on Brynteg, near the corner of High Street. Abersychan Library closed down in April 2010 despite attempts by residents to save it. Campaigners handed in a 707-signature petition in a bid to stop Torfaen Borough Council axing the facility. Weight was added with an appeal from Torfaen’s MP Paul Murphy, but councillors voted to close it as part of measures to save around £114,000 from the leisure, libraries and arts service. A mobile library service now operates in Abersychan.
