Libraryre-opens after digital makeover

Fareham Library will officially open next week after modernising facilities for their customers.

The library’s new space, known as the Makery, offers IT, coding tools and equipment including Virtual Reality headsets and 3D design to help people develop new skills to make them more digitally aware and confident in using new technology.

Hampshire County Council’s Executive Member for Culture, Recreation and Countryside, Andrew Gibson said: ‘We’ve had fantastic feedback from customers since we’ve refurbished Fareham Library.

There will also be improved access to Public Health services within the Library for things like child health assessments.
