What is it?

HeadSpace is a completely different kind of library, a cool social environment for young people between the ages of 11 and 19.

HeadSpace is a place where the experience of enjoying reading, listening, surfing or chilling can be shared, where you can meet friends, enjoy a drink or a snack, discover something new, join a group, launch a campaign, or take part in creative activities.

It is a space that is not only there to be used by you. It's also the place where you can volunteer, choose stock and design the space. It is your opportunity to get involved in everything to do with what it looks like and what happens there, choosing how to develop, manage and deliver the services that you most want to use.

Why are we doing it?

We feel that it is important to involve teens in making the decisions that shape the Service. We want you to be the ones that make a difference to what we offer.

At Farnham Library we want to create an innovative, appealing and teen-inspired space:

• A place that you can feel comfortable in
• Where you can meet friends
• Where you can study in a warm, comfortable and inviting environment
• Where we can support you by building a sense of belonging, community involvement and library appreciation

Most of all we want you to see that your library is a place that you want to use because it is fun and that you are proud of it.

What can you do to help?

We currently have plenty of volunteers to help us establish the project, although you are more than welcome to express an interest.
