We apologise for any disappointment that this may cause. Please be assured that we shall fulfill your requests as soon as this national emergency recedes.
Any customer aged over 70, or who is in a critically vulnerable category, can join our Lockdown Delivery Service. Please contact Bracknell Library for further details.
