Doors now open in new modern community spaces for ßÙßÇÂþ»­

Two modern community Library Hubs have now opened their doors in ßÙßÇÂþ»­. These hubs provide community spaces for all, providing a mix of public services, support, events and activities all under one roof. They’ve been designed with the local community needs in mind. Alongside service provision there will be social spaces available for residents to meet and connect with others, or to simply sit and relax. There are also areas available for community led activities to be run by community organisations and individuals.
