Notice Title

QQ25016 - Establishing a small library in the cafe area at Aldersley Leisure Village

Notice Description

We would like to establish a small library in the existing cafe area at Aldersley Leisure Village. The area will continue to be used as a cafe so the majority of the shelving that is installed will need to mobile to allow for them to be pushed out of the way so that the space can be when holding big events. The library will need to have both children's and adult books and a small area for around 3 Pcs and a self-serve machine. We are looking for furniture for both library and cafe users so require a mixture of shelving options, tables and chair. We would like the new library/cafe area to be operational by the end of July 2025. Attached is a floor plan showing the dimensions of the room. Also attached are some photographs of the current cafe. Please note that the existing cafe counter will remain and will need to be incorporated in the design
