Have your say on Wendover Community Library redevelopment plans

Overview

We want to hear your views on the redevelopment plans for Wendover Community Library.

Buckinghamshire Libraries have been successful with a funding bid to the Arts Council England Libraries Improvement Fund.

£310,000 was secured from Arts Council England, which has been topped up to £473,000 with funding from other sources.

The funding is to transform Wendover Community Library into an inclusive, multi-use community hub that offers a single point of contact for local services in Wendover and provides for a range of social, educational, health and cultural activities.

Books and reading will remain absolutely central to the new library.

To become the focal point for the community, the library will be expanded –creating new flexible meeting space and allowing partnerships with new organisations to be developed.

As a community hub, we want Wendover Library to meet the needs of our current library customers, as well as attract new customers – including those from marginalised groups, providing a diverse and inclusive service.

We have developed a proposed design plan for the redevelopment of Wendover Community Library. We want to hear your views on the design plan, whether you:

• Live or work in Wendover, or visit the area
• Use Wendover Community Library, or not

Your views will help us shape the next steps in transforming the library.

What happens next

Your feedback will help us understand if the design concept set out to meet the aims of the project and type of activities that people want to see at the new library.

Your feedback will also help us shape the technology offer at the library by understanding the needs of the community when it comes to out of hours access.

As part of the project, we are interested in hearing people’s views and shaping the new library service provision to meet the needs of the community.

We will hold further community engagement exercises to share further designs on the interior and to reshape the Wendover Library service provision in the new library to ensure we are offering a sustainable, diverse and inclusive service.
