The Hamworthy Community Library Project, part funded by the Big Lottery Fund, will provide a new community library facility, delivering a range of library and community services developed through engagement with the local community.

Opening event - Saturday 6th March, 10 -4pm.

The £1.9m project will deliver greater community vitality and cohesion and the capacity of local people to help themselves in a sustainable way. New learning facilities will raise skills and provide personal development for people of all ages. Shared working will produce efficiencies and better facilities for library, youth, school, voluntary, community and health uses. Increased opening hours, volunteering, community activity and fewer people feeling disengaged are some of the key deliverables that the local residents will experience from this project. Public sector and voluntary sector professionals including school staff, police, health workers, youth workers, community workers will all enjoy closer contact with the people they serve through their partnership in this new Community Library.

In addition, the new facility will act as a community hub bringing members of the community together, especially new residents as a result of regeneration of the local area. Through the new management arrangements the community and the library service will work together to improve services to the community
