Inspire libraries are excited to announce that the newly renovated café space at Mansfield Central Library is now open.
After a complete refurbishment and selection process, local catering company Mrs B’s has moved in the mezzanine floor in the heart of the library. Mrs B’s will be offering hot drinks, snacks and light refreshments to library customers and members of the local community, and will offer catering services to both external customers and those who hire the library‘s meeting, theatre and conference spaces.
Inspire are especially keen to see local residents making full use of the library service now that COVID restrictions have eased. It’s hoped that the addition of the café will help achieve the Inspire mission to provide a vibrant centre for reading, learning, culture and community activities in Mansfield.
Mrs B’s at Mansfield Central Library invite customers to come try it out for themselves. Visitors will be able to pick up a cup of 200 Degrees Coffee, another Nottinghamshire success story, will be served from the café!
Run by Inspire on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council and located in the heart of the town of Mansfield, Mansfield Central Library provides a vibrant central focus for inspiring the enjoyment of reading, creativity, learning, information, heritage, community, and culture for all.
In addition to the café the library offers a dedicated children’s library, work and study areas with free Wi-Fi, a professional art gallery with a programme of touring exhibitions, a gift shop, and a regular programme of events, courses, and activities.
The library also has an extensive range of meeting and conference spaces for hire including a 190 seater theatre ideal for small and large gatherings.
Peter Gaw, Inspire CEO:
“We’re excited to finally be able to have Mansfield Central Library’s café up and running again, and to welcome Mrs B’s into the new space. Our aim has always been to make the central library a place to spend more time to read, learn and enjoy culture, and the café is a great addition to the service offer".
“It’s really great to move into the new café, and we’re looking forward to hitting the ground running. Through our catering services we provide individual lunches, snacks, homemade cakes, salads and healthy juices, and we’re looking forward to trying out our new menu and feeding plenty of customers here at the library.”
“Everyone is delighted at this new partnership between Inspire and Mrs B’s. With the café soon to be up and running, the local community has a brand-new place to meet, eat and relax. Working with local providers, we’re able to support the local economy and help develop the town centre.”
