Gainsborough library staff 'proud' to be named Library of the Year 2023

The award recognises the library with a clear and strong performance across a variety of factors including book lending and visits, customer and community focus, respecting the planet and staff engagement.

Alongside their book lending service, Gainsborough Library offers a programme of activities each week for all ages to enjoy, from children’s activities like Rhyme Time and Messy Play to IT Support and Coffee Mornings.

The creation of a library garden in 2023 and the additions of new activities, such as surgeries with local PCSOs and councillors, are just some of the excellent ways the library team has engaged with the community and made the library a welcoming and useful space for everyone.

Fabiola Nosenzo, manager of Gainsborough Library for GLL said “We were thrilled to have been nominated and really proud to have won the award.

“We would like to thank all our customers and everyone that has supported us.

“It is the sense of community that makes our library such a special place.”

Gainsborough Library is on Cobden Street, Gainsborough.

It is open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Wednesday and Friday, 9am to 6pm Thursday, and 9am to 1pm on Saturday.
