“Brilliantly efficient company. We wanted a new children’s library area in our community library in Kirkbymoorside. Chris and the design team were excellent, listened to our needs and were engaged and pro-active throughout the whole process. The installation team were also excellent. Thank you BookSpace.”

Kirkbymoorside Community Library

“In our King’s Norton library, issue rates for all ages for the 12 month period following the refit have increased by 19% which is just phenomenal. And across all of the refitted libraries, the number of registered borrowers has increased for all ages but particularly the under 4’s, where we’ve seen a 24% increase. We’re delighted!”

Birmingham Children’s Libraries

“BookSpace won a competitive bid to design a new Children’s Area in our Community Library in North Yorkshire. They listed to what we asked for, amended it thoughtfully when we changed our minds and delivered a very professional product, which has been delighting children and their families since its installation in September 2021.”

“Good school libraries are powerhouses of reading and learning. Our research shows that they help raise pupils’ literacy levels, improve access to knowledge, improve self-esteem and stimulate a love of reading, all of which give children the building blocks they need to succeed at school and beyond.”
