What do the initial design concepts propose?
Our design concepts set out the potential layout for the ground floor and first floor of the new library.
The ground floor would be accessed directly from the High Street and would contain:
- casual study / meeting areas
- popular fiction and non-fiction books
- an event space
- an expanded children’s library including storytelling area (‘snug’)
- accessible toilets, including a ‘Changing Places’ toilet.
The first floor would be accessible by stairs and a lift, and would contain:
- a modern study space
- IT facilities
- further fiction and non-fiction
- reference books
- newspapers / periodicals
- enhanced local history centre
- meeting / business rooms for hire
- further accessible toilets
