The chart below shows how our customers rated us across a range of areas. We then asked customers what they most like about coming to the Hub and […]
Over the summer, Melbourn Hub Library ran a summer art challenge – ‘my favourite story character’. The children were challenged to draw their favourite story character. A further challenge was to draw their character in nature such as the seaside, the woods, the garden or the riverside. They could use felt tips, colouring in pencils, wax crayons, paints or collage to bring colour to their pictures. The librarians were very impressed with the children’s art work and rewards were given to each child for taking part in the challenge. We would like to thank all the children for taking time […]

Visits from Melbourn Playgroup The library has been delighted to receive visits each term from the children who attend the playgroup. We were very pleased that the playgroup team came up with the idea, as part of the preparation for the children moving on to school at the start of the academic year 2024. The volunteer staff working in the library thought that it was a great idea, as they are focusing their thoughts and investments on developing the children’s library in an inclusive way while supporting the early reading foundation skills. Each term a group of children walked from the […]

The first week of February 2024 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Melbourn Hub. What better opportunity to remind ourselves of the Hub story! An idea is born Melbourn Hub was truly born out of the community it serves. Residents of Melbourn were consulted in 2009/10 in order to develop a Village Plan, canvassing opinion from every house on every street. It was established from this very successful exercise that the community strongly wanted the local library saved from closure (due to loss of the original venue). Alongside the library an almost equally strong desire was expressed for a “Village […]

It gave us a rich set of feedback and is very valuable in making sure we are providing the best service we can to the people of Melbourn and beyond. We were particularly proud that 97% of you said you would recommend the Hub to […]
The young people of Melbourn and its surrounding villages are some of our most important customers! We love to see everyone enjoying all the Hub has to offer and are the proud hosts of a range of one-off events and ongoing services specifically for children and young people. In May we were delighted to host local folk duo, Megson, who put on a very special concert for our little “music connoisseurs”. Aimed at 0 to 8-year olds, it was a complete sell-out, and everyone enjoyed a very happy hour of dancing and singing! Then in June, it was the turn of […]
