About Milford on Sea Community Library
In 2020, Hampshire County Council withdrew funding, and Milford on Sea Library was forced to close on 20th March 2020.
The library had been located in Milford on Sea Village Hall for several years. The Village Hall is operated by the trustees of the Milford Village Association (MVA) and they were happy for the library to stay.
So, the Library team, of Jill Neil, Liz Everard, Clare Johnston and several others, set about founding Milford on Sea Community Library in consultation with Hampshire County Council. Their quest was successful, and Milford on Sea Community Library became an independent library, run by volunteers, on 16th March 2021.
During Lockdown in 2020, to help keep community spirits up, the Library Team and Milford Mutual Aid with Jenny Whitely and valuable volunteers produced The Good News Newsletter, which was circulated throughout the village. A mini version of TGN as it has become known, continues to be published in the Village Voice Magazine.
The Milford on Sea Village Hall is also used by various community group and always willing to accommodate events, presentations and classes where possible.
