Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope

Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope houses a newly refurbished library, museum, gallery, café with a 'multi-purpose space', including a Tourist Information Centre that re-opened in December 2006.

It's bright, light, open, welcoming and vibrant. Staff are able to engage even more with customers as there is no formal counter to act as a barrier.

Staff have embraced this, along with a willingness to try other new ways of working, such as floor walking to better engage with library visitors, but also improve customer satisfaction and book promotion.

The new gallery is stunning, bright and airy; everything the old one was not! It is now very accessible, with upper and lower entrances and exits and disabled parking bays created to enable easy access for all members of the local community.

Benefits

  • Provides opportunities for a wide range of author talks, cultural events and art exhibitions.
  • Holding public consultation sessions and engaging with the local community and local organisations have since assisted in selecting new stock.
  • A disabled community group, who previously were unable to access our services, now use the library weekly.
