Verbal update of the Principal Curator, Keats House.

The Committee received a verbal update of the Principal Curator regarding the partnership with Keats Community Library.

The Principal Curator advised that the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee had recently approved an extension of the Library’s license. She added that subject to the approval of one other City Corporation Committee the licence would continue until 20 April 2017.

In response to a Members’ question, the Principal Curator advised the Keats Community Library currently had a team of 50 volunteers and the House itself was in the process of expanding its own volunteer programme.
