We’re delighted to share that Haywards Heath Library is now open again, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to our newly refurbished space!
Thanks to funding through Section 106 developer contributions, we’ve been able to refresh and revitalise the library, creating a brighter, more inviting environment for everyone who visits. Our aim throughout the project was simple: to make the library an even more comfortable, accessible, and enjoyable place for our community.

As you step inside, you’ll notice the lighter, more open layout and improved seating areas, giving you plenty of choice whether you’re settling in with a book, finding a quiet spot to work, or just dropping by for a browse. We’ve updated the décor and created a calmer, more contemporary feel that we hope makes your time in the library even more enjoyable.

Accessibility has also been a key focus. Wider walkways and clearer sightlines now make it easier to navigate the space, ensuring the library continues to be welcoming for everyone.
We’re especially excited about our new flexible areas, which allow us to host an even greater range of events and activities from reading groups and workshops to community meet-ups and special sessions throughout the year.

The response from visitors so far has been wonderful, and we’re thrilled to see how positively the improvements have been received.
This refurbishment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Haywards Heath Library, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
