Businesses in Grantham are being offered access to a business hub at the town’s library with flexible and confidential workspaces with modern technology.
The move will mean a new IT suite equipped with business software, as well as drop-in working zones kitted out with acoustic booths and ‘bubbles’ for interviews and online meetings.
Facilities have been designed with flexibility in mind, meaning the spaces can be used as additional study space for library users, as well as by local education providers, community groups, and more.
Visitors can also look forward to a refreshed and redecorated library, with new carpets fitted throughout.
Cllr Martin Hill, leader of Lincolnshire County Council, said: “We’re investing in a suite of new facilities to support the town’s small businesses, providing three new flexible working areas to meet their needs.
“By listening to residents and businesses and implementing creative solutions like business hubs, we can continue to ensure that Lincolnshire’s libraries remain the beating heart of community life.”
Grantham is the third library in Lincolnshire to benefit from the addition of business hubs, following Lincoln and Spalding libraries, and work is expected to start later this summer.
