After the incredible success of EverySpace at March Library, the innovative concept has now opened in our Cambridge Central Library

EverySpace has been designed as a vibrant, inclusive, and adaptable hub where people can connect, create, and discover. Whether you’re into tech, creativity, or simply looking for inspiration, there’s something here for everyone. The new EverySpace responds to what Cambridgeshire residents have told us they value and need in our recent Quality of Life survey. With most people feeling happy, safe and connected to their communities, EverySpace strengthens this further by offering a welcoming place to meet, learn and get involved.

As part of our Libraries Plus scheme, EverySpace showcases how libraries are evolving to meet community needs, with accessible, dementia-friendly, and autism-friendly design at its core.
