Community-managed libraries as community hubs

The Community Managed Libraries National Peer Network conducted a small study into community managed libraries (CMLs) as community hubs. This report considers the wide range of services and activities currently offered by CMLs and looks at how well positioned CMLs are to turn themselves into community hubs. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions on opening, the CMLs included in the study continued to offer services remotely and virtually, showcasing their flexibility and community engagement.
