Books
The community centre also offers advice services
A new �3m library and community centre has opened in Leicestershire.

The facility in Braunstone has been developed as part of a multi-million pound regeneration scheme for the area.

The Braunstone Reading, Information, Technology and Entertainment Centre has 10,000 books and will provide access to support sessions and career advice.

Naomi Henderson, a 10-year-old schoolgirl who won a competition to name the centre, opened the doors to the Brite centre on Monday morning.

The community centre is part of a long-term regeneration scheme in Braunstone that also includes more than 90 other projects.

The facility has been developed by Braunstone Community Association.

A city council spokeswoman said a recently opened library in Hamilton had more than 1,000 visitors in the first two weeks.
