A six-week public engagement on temporary library arrangements for Sherwood has now closed, with more than 1,100 residents sharing their views. 

The engagement, run by Nottingham City Libraries between 11 September and 23 October 2025, invited feedback on whether a temporary library service should be provided while work continues to resolve issues with the new permanent Sherwood Library building. 

Responses will now be carefully reviewed and will help inform decisions on the next steps for library provision in Sherwood. 

Leader, Councillor Neghat Khan, said: “I want to thank everyone who took the time to share their views. We know there’s strong community support for library services in Sherwood, and this feedback will play an important role in shaping what happens next. 

“Work also continues to resolve the outstanding issues and complete the new permanent library, which remains a key priority for the Council and local residents.” 

Further updates will be provided once the findings of the engagement have been fully considered over the coming weeks.
