Nottingham libraries to get new investment over next four years

.

In a delegated decision the council now says it is looking to spend £505,628 on a contract with a design agency to deliver improvements to library interiors across the city.Projects will be started on a case-by-case basis and only when the finances have been secured.

“I suspect the libraries which this project will mainly be earmarking for these design makeovers though are the rather soulless joint service libraries in St Ann’s, Bulwell, Hyson Green and Sneinton Dale, and anything which improves the user experience in these centres is to be welcomed.”
