To Inspire Change at the Heart of your Communities

Our Libraries are so much more than just books—they are vibrant spaces where people of all ages can learn, connect, and experience culture. We offer a dynamic programme of creative events, workshops, and activities that inspire, engage, and bring people together.

Gloucestershire Libraries get vital funding from Gloucestershire County Council to keep things running and provide core services. As a National Portfolio Organisation, we also get Arts Council funding to support a team who manage our three main initiatives:

- Ageing with Creativity: Engaging our over 60s community with creative and mindful activities to include those living with dementia, memory loss and their carers

-Space to Create: Empowering 16–24-year-olds not in mainstream education, training or employment through digital creativity, building confidence, skills, and pathways to brighter futures

-Family Focus: Sparking creativity and connection through vibrant cultural experiences, enriching storytelling, and well-being for children and their families

However, all the events and activities delivered for these initiatives rely solely on donations, sponsorships, external funding and partner support.

Whether it’s a one-time donation, a regular gift, time and expertise, or sponsoring a programme, every bit of support makes our libraries stronger. Together, we can build spaces, programmes and events that inspire and change lives.
