Blidworth Library has received its makeover!

We are excited to inform you that after closing for refurbishment, Blidworth Library has reopened! We are looking forward to welcoming the community of Blidworth to our new library space.

Blidworth is one of six of our libraries that has received investment from the Libraries Improvement Fund (LIF), which is part of the Cultural Investment Fund a programme of work funded by the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) delivered by Arts Council England.  Nottinghamshire County Council, partnering with Inspire were awarded £170,000 to create community hubs in Nottinghamshire, transforming the buildings into flexible welcoming spaces for communities to use and enjoy.

The refurbishment has provided the community with a new flexible layout, community gathering area, and exciting new stock for all ages and interests. In addition, and following community consultation, there will be a range of new activities and events on offer, including:

• Knit and Natter, every Monday at 10am
• Poetry group, on the third Saturday of each month at 10am
• Family Art Club, on the first Saturday of each month at 10:30am
• Rattle Rhyme and Roll followed by Stay and Play, every Friday at 9:30am
• Children's Lego Club, on the second Saturday of each month at 10am
• Memory Group, on the first Friday of each month at 10am
• Places of Welcome, every Thursday at 10:30am
