An exciting new project has been launched to transfer the historic Carnegie Library building on Herne Hill Road from Lambeth Council to a new charitable Trust to run it as a Community Hub.
The aim is to keep the library as a council service at the heart of a new cultural and community facility housing educational, artistic, musical and community uses that can be enjoyed by everyone in our community. The building, though, will have to operate without public subsidy so a certain amount of space will need to be offered as high quality rental space.
Outline options for the adaptation of the building have been developed by architects, funded by Lambeth. Details of an exhibition and local meetings will be announced shortly so that local people can consider the options and give their feedback . A newsletter has been delivered to local households launching the project and all the information about the project can be found at carnegiehernehill.org.uk
Driving forward this project will require lots of energy, ideas, skills, commitment and, above all, community support. So, if you are excited by the vision for a new Community Hub and have a skill or experience to offer, or an idea for an activity or for fundraising or you would just like to help in some way please email [email protected].
