Lewisham Libraries - Community Interest Event 12th April, 4-8pm, Civic Suite, Catford
Lewisham Council is currently inviting bids from enterprising organisations that are interested in taking on the management of one or more of four library buildings earmarked for closure. These buildings are Crofton Park, Grove Park, New Cross and Sydenham libraries.
Lewisham Council recognises the broader role that library buildings can play within communities, as a meeting place, a source of community information and focus for community activity. Therefore, before a decision on which organisation should be recommended to take on a lease for each building, the Council will assess the proposed use of the building and associated community benefits including plans for community library services. As part of this assessment the Council is holding a Community Interest Event to enable local residents to view the proposals and comment on them. A representative from each organisation will be present as well as key council officers.
The event will be held in the Civic Suite, Lewisham Town Hall, Catford SE6 4RU. The event runs from 4-8pm and residents are invited to drop in at anytime during those four hours to view the displays, speak to the organisation representatives and council officers and leave their comments.
