Barrow library is housed in an impressive Victorian building, and has undergone a multimillion-pound redesign in 2021 to provide a brilliant new space for all the community making it the flagship library for Cumbria County Council’s Customer Connect Buildings.
The redesign includes a number of customer touch down points where staff can deal with a wide range of customer enquiries. There’s also a new glazed, soundproof pod which provides a more private space for services such as blue badge and Now Card applications, and the superb new sensory room provides a safe space for families with young children that have additional needs.
