About Fawdon Community Library

Fawdon Community Library has been wholly run by volunteers, following closure of the former City Library service in Fawdon, in 2015. We are based in Fawdon Community Centre, and have a wide selection of books and services, including free access to computers, in our dedicated computer room. Other services include printing, photocopying and refreshments. We run a Family History group each month for those interested in tracing their ancestors, and also ad-hoc computer training courses for beginners. Membership and most of our services are free of charge. We are just 2 minutes walk from Fawdon Metro station and Fawdon Park shopping centre. Find us on Google maps.

Bought it, read it, finished with it?

Fawdon Community Library aims to introduce newly released books at regular intervals throughout the year, but relies on fundraising, grants and donations to maintain our supply. Limited storage space prevents us from accepting large quantities of donated books, but we are always grateful to receive any recently published books that you may read, and no longer need.
