Youth Work: Buxton Library to have designated area for youngpeople

Buxton Library in Derbyshire is to become one of the first in the UK to have a designated area for young people.

HeadSpace will be a young people-only zone and comes as part of a £24,000 makeover. It will be run in partnership between the library and local young people who will help to pick the books and choose how it will look. Derbyshire County Council was awarded the cash from the Reading Agency to create a cafe-style environment that aims to bring more young people to the library. The idea to serve coffee and snacks to younger visitors as they browse for a book or surf the internet was thought up by a group of local young people called the Book Pushers.
