Kirkby in Ashfield Library Refurbishment

Kirkby-in-Ashfield Library is one of two projects in Ashfield to provide information and digital, cultural and community services to support a wide range of activity and to facilitate innovation, learning and cultural programmes, and community activity, with a focus on entry level digital skills.

Kirkby-in-Ashfield library reopened on Monday 19 June as Kirkby-in-Ashfield Library and Learning Centre. An inspiring new learning and meeting space has been created on the upper floor providing digital access and access to technology for the whole community. Inspire’s Adult Learning team have created a brand new programme of adult and family learning course for summer with a focus on entry level digital skills. An updated library layout accommodates the same amount of book stock, children’s library and all the usual favourite activities such as Rhyme, Rattle, Roll; Craft and Chatter; Reading Groups; and Places of Welcome. There’s a job seeker/employability hub, and information, advice and guidance services, as well as the the chance for local people be get involved in community led activity through Inspire’s ‘community makers’ programme… There’s even a meeting space for local businesses!

Come and see what we’ve been up to. We look forward to welcoming you!
