We’re very pleased to be taking part in Brent Culture Open Day on https://www.brent.gov.uk/events-and-whats-on-calendar/events/brent-culture-open-day/ on 18 February, 12:00-16:00. Come along and find out more about our plans for the library. We’ll be sharing a table with our colleagues from our three sister libraries: Preston, Barham and Kensal Rise.
Innovative librarian’s services are sought by four new community libraries in Brent. Following a successful grant bid to Brent’s Voluntary Sector Initiative Fund, Preston, Kensal Rise, Cricklewood and Barham libraries are looking for a successful and dynamic librarian to help shape the community library service in Brent.
Please see the full ad, role and person specifications below. To apply, complete the application form and send it with your covering letter to barhamlibrary@hotmail.co.uk by the deadline of Friday 10 February 2017. Interviews will take place in the week beginning Monday 20 February.

We know you’re busy and that you’ve been meaning to do it for ages. But this is your last chance – voting closes tomorrow. If we get enough votes, our application will go to a panel of judges who will decide whether we win or not. If we’re successful, it could mean up to £25,000 worth of funding for the new library, which would go a long way towards providing shelving, seating, flooring, books and other necessities for your new community library.
Here’s the link: CLICK TO VOTE FOR US
It takes a minute or so to register and when you’re done, you get 10 votes – PLEASE give us all your votes! And once you’re doing voting, please share the link with family and friends.

Thanks and happy voting (and sharing!).
