West Wickham Library in Bromley reopened on June 27 after a major upgrade. The refurbishment incorporated a new cafe, business lounge, and a Makerspace equipped with a 3D printer, drawing significant community engagement. The reopening featured the Mayor of Bromley and was highlighted by a storytelling event with children's author Peter Bently. The project received over 1 million in funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Additional enhancements included improved community spaces and facilities, continuing the library's operation through Greenwich Leisure Limited, known for high performance in service delivery.
“It has never been clearer how important our libraries are to residents than on this reopening, as many smiling faces eagerly travelled through the new library spaces, many planning their future visits, whether regular users or new library converts.”
“GLL libraries are some of the highest performing across the UK with Bromley Libraries lending the highest number of books in London for the last two years.”
