Cranbrook Library has reopened with a fresh new look following upgrades to bring in more services and resources in one convenient location.

The library temporarily closed at the end of last year so work could take place to create space for Family Hubs and other services designed to meet the needs of the community.

Cranbrook Library has also had a refit making use of previous office space. Upgrades include changes to the children’s library incorporating new shelving and furniture with a woodland theme. While the library is now open, Family Hub services will move in next month.

Paul Webb, KCC’s Cabinet Member for Community and Regulatory Services, said: “It’s fantastic to see both [Temple Hill, Dartford and] Cranbrook libraries reopen. They look bright, airy and very welcoming.

“We are also incorporating Family Hub units into a lot of our libraries. We've got brand-new spaces for them to move into, along with consultation rooms, which will open to the public soon. I look forward to seeing the benefits these enhanced services will bring to residents in their local areas.”
