Money for libraries
Libraries across England are widening their attraction to local communities with a multi-million pound injection from the Big Lottery Fund.
The Fund is putting 80 million in Lottery good cause money into strengthening the place of libraries in community life. The new Lottery scheme opens for application from 9th October.
The Community Libraries programme will provide capital funding to improve library buildings so that they can offer a broader range of activities to their visitors. The scheme has been developed together with the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA).
