Welcome

Design to inspire

With significant changes taking place in how libraries are used, a welldesigned, stimulating and vibrant space is one of the most important things that a library can offer.

The principles of good, intuitive design are hugely important, especially as buildings increasingly house shared services. Enthusiasm for library use, both for reading for pleasure as well as easy access to information, needs to be nurtured in order to retain and increase footfall.

Not only will we ensure the best use of your space now, but our solutions also allow you to react to the ever-changing needs of your users.

As a market leading UK manufacturer of library furniture, shelving and display products, FG Library & Learning has an impressive product portfolio and the capability to manufacture unique solutions where appropriate.

We recognise that every library is different and are able to offer a wide variety of solutions for creating the best possible space for your needs.

Whether it is a complete new library or just refreshing an existing space, use our free design service to help you visualise how the finished project will look and let us help you put the library back at the heart of the community!

Free Design Service Planning a new library while working in a busy environment can be a challenge so why not use our experience to make things a little easier.

One of our team can visit, measure the space and discuss exactly how you want the space to work. We will then produce a plan so you can be sure that the finished library is exactly how you imagined!

Each member of the FG Library team is a trained expert in his or her field, so you know you are always dealing with knowledgeable and experienced staff.
