Has been a bit noisy for our team and patients, a small price to pay and am sure all will be worth it in the end, excited to see the final result.

Cambourne Library expansion back on track

We’re pleased to announce that the expansion of Cambourne Library is now underway. Following a period of delay due to the need for additional expert advice and building-wide adaptations to meet updated regulations and compliance standards, construction work has officially resumed.

The newly refurbished library is scheduled to open in early 2026 and will offer a significantly larger and more versatile space.

Key features of the redevelopment include:
• A vibrant and engaging children’s area designed to inspire young readers.
• A dedicated meeting room to support community and group activities.
• Brand-new furniture and equipment throughout the facility.

In addition, the library will be home to Targeted Support services, offering children’s activities and resources in collaboration with our partners.

To better serve the community, we will also be extending our opening hours through the introduction of Open+ self-service technology, aligning library access with the operating hours of the adjacent health centre.

We know that our libraries are hugely valued by the communities they serve. That's why as a county council we are investing in Cambourne Library, as part of our Library Plus programme, to ensure the library continues to meet the needs of residents and benefits the community for years to come.

We look forward to welcoming you to the new Cambourne Library in 2026 and thank you for your continued support and patience during this exciting transformation.
