Newbold Verdon is to get a new Library...

What’s happened so far?

In October 2007 Leicestershire Libraries were awarded £781,402.00 by the Big Lottery Fund to build a new library and community facility
In December 2007 we invited the community to attend 3 meetings at the library
The community created a wish list which fed into the architect’s plans
Young people have been encouraged to use their own ideas to design a Library
In February 2008 flyers were sent to every household in the village to invite the community to the ‘Funday’
We held a ‘Funday’ event in February 2008 for all ages in the library, which was attended by 170 visitors from all age groups
Visitors gave feedback on the plans, which were amended as a result

View the Planning Application page if you would like to view the plans for the new facility
Plans will go for planning permission for April

The Library Service will be sending plans to the Big Lottery Fund so the funding can be confirmed
These plans are a ‘Community Engagement Plan’, a ‘Capital Project Plan’ and a ‘Business Plan’
The first meeting of the ‘Friends of Newbold Verdon Library’ will be on Wednesday 9 April, 6.00 - 7.30pm.
Invitations are being sent out, but everyone is welcome to attend
There are lots of events planned including another packed fun day
- Come and join us on Saturday July 19th for our ‘Closing Down Party’ 1.00pm – 4.30pm. There is something for everyone including our version of the ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea-Party’, everyone is welcome. Visit the library for more details.
