Library Community Centre

Westbury Library as a Community Resource

Over the last couple of years, several changes have been made to the furniture at the library, to enable it to be moved around easily. Funding was also obtained to purchase a number of folding chairs, which are kept in an outside store. This means that the library can now be used for events for up to 50 people...

Any community group can apply to hold their meetings in the the library, provided that...

• The meeting starts no earlier than 7:30 pm (because of Extended Access)
• The event is non-commercial (ie any charges for attendance will be to cover costs or to support a charity, etc...)
• The organiser completes and submits a risk assessment form
• The organisation has Public Liability Insurance
• A member of the organisation has been shown the procedures for opening and closing the building.

People at the meeting can have access to the small kitchen to make drinks and organise refreshments and also to the two toilets
Also, for the present at least, there will be NO CHARGE for the use of the building...

For more information and to discuss possible dates, please contact Megan Vowles or Helen Harvey, the library supervisors for Henleaze and Westbury.

The Westbury Library Group want to support any group who would like to make use of the Library and so we are willing to assist with opening and closing the building and to attend the meeting to provide the required insurance cover if required - provided, of course, that one of us is available on the relevant day(s)...

If you are interested in this possibility, please contact us on westburylibrarygroup@gmail.com to discuss the matter further.
