Business hub to be created at Grantham Library

Grantham is set to benefit from a new business hub, which will bring flexible workspaces with modern technology to the library.

The transformation will see a new IT suite equipped with business software added, as well as drop-in working zones kitted out with acoustic booths and ‘bubbles’.

Facilities have been designed with flexibility in mind, meaning the spaces can be used as additional study space for library users, as well as by local education providers, community groups, and more.

Visitors can also look forward to a refreshed and redecorated library, with new carpets fitted throughout.

Cllr Martin Hill, leader of Lincolnshire County Council, said: “With more than 10,000 registered users, and a packed programme of events offering everything from coding clubs to crocheting, Grantham is already one of our most popular libraries.

“Now we want to further develop the range of services on offer to help local people. That’s why we’re investing in a suite of new facilities to support the town’s small businesses, providing three new flexible working areas to meet their needs.

“By listening to residents and businesses and implementing creative solutions like business hubs, we can continue to ensure that Lincolnshire’s libraries remain the beating heart of community life.”

Grantham is the third library in Lincolnshire to benefit from the addition of business hubs, following Lincoln and Spalding libraries, and work is expected to start later this summer.
