Massive Increase in Brent's Libraries Outreach

My post on Saturday only covered the outreach programme around Kilburn Library, and I have been asked whether there is further outreach across Brent . Indeed there is. 

Brent Libraries service are delivering to 48 sites around the Borough.  This includes places like the St Raphaels Intergenerational Centre.  Since the diverting of the 206, the public transport links of the St Raphaels estate, never wonderful, have got mush worse, so that site is particularly welcome. There have also been stalls at particular events, like the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. 

The numbers are that in the April to June quarter, Brent Libraries outreach issued more than 10,000 items, which represented an increase of more than 700% on the same quarter last year.

Are you doing any 'outreach' in Kensal Rise or Kensal Green?
We've lost our library but have not seen nor heard from Brent Library 'services'.
