Residents in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, can now browse a new list of events and classes available at their local library for the start of 2026. The guide, released by Inspire: Culture, Learning and Libraries, covers activities happening from December 2025 through to March 2026.
The “What’s On” brochure includes a variety of activities such as local history talks, reading sessions for children, and practical courses for adults. To make it easier to sign up, Inspire has launched a new online booking system called the Learner Hub; Inspire delivers library services on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council.
Local people can find details on specific classes like creative arts or maths sessions, as well as social meet-ups designed to help neighbours connect. The guide also highlights social sessions known as “Places of Welcome,” a programme that runs across Inspire libraries to provide friendly spaces where neighbours can meet and support one another.
Gedling Eye reported that under Nottinghamshire County Council’s proposed tier system Carlton Hill was listed as a library “access point,” a lower-tier designation intended for smaller or co‑located sites that will typically offer a reduced range of services compared with hub libraries. The season’s guide and Inspire’s materials show Carlton Hill continuing to form part of the countywide network of libraries offering community events and learning opportunities.
The new guide can be downloaded from the Inspire website and is generally available in print at local branches, including Carlton Hill. Those interested in starting a course this spring are encouraged to register through the Learner Hub as soon as possible to secure their place.
