New Camberwell Library

Pam Usher, Libraries Arts and Heritage Manager, explained that the interiors of the new building were being finalised prior to the IT systems being installed. The library was likely to open in November 2015. The IT fit out was in progress and after that brand new stock of 27,000 items would be installed. Shelf panels would feature images of Old Camberwell and some wonderful art pieces that had been provided by undergraduate students at Camberwell College for display. Once opened, the library would offer a range of activities and sessions for the public.

 

Feedback from the Camberwell Fair

Andre Marmot from Wormfood Music, explained that this year’s fair had taken place on 25 July 2015. There were approximately 3,500 people in attendance over the course of the day. 120 surveys had been completed and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. There had been a good level of diversity of people on the day. Next year’s fair would take place either on the Green or at Burgess Park. For further details, contact: andre@wormfood.co.uk
