Surrey libraries have received £75,000 in funding from the Arts Council Cultural Investment Fund. 

The additional funding will help eight libraries in the county to continue to deliver their “Dynamic Spaces” project.  Ten libraries have already benefited from the first part of the project which provided flexible shelving. This enables spaces to be reconfigured to accommodate more events and services.  Reigate and Oxted libraries are among those who will receive flexible shelving from the new funding. 

The move comes as libraries are being used for a range of different activities following a rise in agile working and the increasing need for meeting spaces in the community.
