A new chapter for Brigg Community Hub: Families invited to discover the children’s library in its new home

Brigg Community Hub has thrown open its doors again – with visitors already enjoying a brighter, more welcoming space in the heart of the town.

The biggest change is the children’s library, which has been moved downstairs so families with pushchairs and little ones can get to the books, stories and activities more easily.

Upstairs, a brand-new adult reading room and study area offers a quiet place to read, learn or simply take a moment to relax.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “It’s fantastic to see the hub open its doors after the changes and I’m sure it will soon be buzzing with life again. We’ve listened to local residents and made changes that will really make a difference – from easier access for families to a calm space for study and reflection.”

The makeover is part of ongoing improvements to make sure libraries and hubs remain at the heart of community life – places where people of all ages can meet, learn and feel at home.

Cllr Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for community wellbeing (rural), added: “While some areas are closing libraries, we’re doing the opposite – investing in them. Brigg’s hub now has something for everyone, and I’m sure families and residents will make the most of it. Our libraries aren’t just about books, they’re about people – places to connect, learn and thrive.”

Everyone is welcome to pop in and take a look around the new-look hub, which is in The Angel in Brigg Market Place, and especially to explore the new children’s library.

The library is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 12pm.
