This guide supports libraries and community settings in developing Warm Welcome spaces - places that are safe, inclusive, welcoming and accessible to everyone.

It provides practical guidance to help organisations create spaces that meet essential safety and compliance requirements while ensuring that people feel comfortable, valued and able to stay.

The guide has been produced by Ayub Khan MBE and Marsha Lowe, with support from Martin Lewis, and is published by CILIP.
