About this cause

In February 2016 Kegworth Community Library began operating as a community library for the residents and visitors of Kegworth, following a handover and training from LCC. The Trustees has been able to increase the opening times to 14 hours per week and welcomes visitors from all sections of the community. In particular we have a large number of elderly members who not only use the library for borrowing books but come in for a coffee and chat, Knit and Natter or join in with the singing group EmbarraSSIng. It is our intention to increase this provision by offering Games afternoons and computer confidence courses. We have approximately 30 volunteers (6 of whom are also Trustees) who help run the library as 'librarians' and provide help and support for our visitors.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The library is the only public access point in the village for on-line support for health, careers, business and leisure. We need to purchase a system that enables KCL and our community to be confident that information they input is secure and is not transferable from user to user.
