Kilburn Library on Salusbury Road will reopen on 2 February following a £1 million transformation, creating a modern, inclusive and vibrant community hub for residents in the south of the borough.
The transformation, funded by £783,000 from the council’s Strategic Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and £231,500 from Arts Council England, has reimagined the historic library for Brent’s diverse communities, blending contemporary design with the character of its 130-year-old Victorian architecture.
Visitors will enjoy a host of new and upgraded facilities, including a spacious single-floor layout with versatile areas for exhibitions, workshops, performances, and community programmes. The library also boasts a fully refurbished, hireable community space, studio42, equipped with a screen and Wi-Fi; perfect for meetings, courses, groups and events.
