Grantham Library is set to launch a new business hub, providing workspace, computers, and software.
The library will have new computers and business software. There will be drop-in working zones, including quiet acoustic booths.
Lincolnshire County Council is funding this project. The hub will help businesses, education groups, and community groups. Plus, it will add more library space.
The council leader mentioned Grantham’s popularity, noting it has over 10,000 users already and offering events, like coding clubs. The goal is to offer more services locally.
They want to help small businesses in town. The hub will have flexible working areas to meet their needs. The council listened to locals and businesses.
Business hubs are creative solutions that keep libraries central to the community, they think. They are redecorating the library, too, with new carpets getting installed everywhere.
Grantham is the third library to get a hub after Lincoln and Spalding. Expect work to start later this summer.
