Check out our photos to see what’s been going on in the library during 2016:

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.

While local libraries are reducing their opening hours, Fawdon’s volunteer run library has extended opening times and has recently initiated a mobile service to a local care home.

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
• Tuesdays 10am-2pm
• Wednesdays 10am-1pm
• Thursdays 2pm to 5pm
