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.

Services will initially be limited to Select and Collect/Book returns. As before, all books will be quarantined for 72 hours to ensure your safety. Access to public computers will also be available, but will be limited to 45 minutes, to ensure that full sanitising can be completed before and after use. Initially, our opening hours will be:
Mondays 10 a.m until 12 noon
Thursdays 2 p.m until 4 p.m
The due date for any books currently out on loan has been extended to 30th April 2021.

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.
Pop in and see us at Fawdon Community Library – membership is free. You can find us within Fawdon Community Centre on Fawdon Park Road – just 2 minutes away from Fawdon Metro station.
Our opening times are:
- Mondays 11am to 5pm
