We think they’re pretty great, but don’t take our word for it! Here’s what Perdita Scott, founder of Moor Imagination had to say:

 

“BIPC Okehampton is an amazing resource for local businesses. Everyone was so friendly and gave real-life practical advice on how to help your business thrive! Libraries – so much more than books and beyond!”
