We are utterly delighted to announce that Hull Culture and Leisure Library Services has been awarded £203,175 of funding by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport for our ‘Space to Inspire' project.

The funding has been granted as part of a nationwide Libraries Improvement Fund (LIF) delivered by Arts Council England for the government’s Arts Everywhere Fund.

We will be using the investment to see Hull Central Library transformed into inclusive facilities for Hull residents, including a new themed café, a sensory room, quiet spaces for adults with additional needs, and the refurbishment of the children’s library and meeting rooms.

Watch this space…!
