Library Service Update

All of our library branches are open and ready to welcome you. Before visiting, please check your branch's current opening hours here.

As has been the case during the period of COVID restrictions, fines and loan charges continue to be temporarily suspended and items on loan will continue to be automatically renewed. We'll continue to review this on a monthly basis and give at least 21 days’ notice of any changes. If you have had items on loan for a long period we would appreciate it if you could return them as soon as possible: you can check your library account here or please contact your local library.

Computers and printing facilities are available for use in all of our branches. To guarantee yourself a computer session, please contact your local library in advance to reserve a machine.

If you’re not able to visit us in person at the moment, don’t forget that you can access our online services to get free and instant access to our huge range of ebooks, eaudiobooks and emagazines as well as digital newspapers and online information sources. If you’re not already a member, you can join online and access our online services straight away.
