 Canada Water, Nunhead, Blue Anchor, Camberwell and Brandon libraries have now re-opened with a reduced service. These are the branches that can open safely in line with current social distancing guidelines.
Please check their new opening hours before you visit.
The safety of visitors and staff remains our priority, so you will notice a few changes, including hand sanitiser and screens around staff areas . All books will be cleaned and quarantined for 72 hours and we’ve introduced some new services so you can enjoy them safely.
Order and Collect
Tell us what you’d like to read and we’ll do the browsing for you. All you need to do is give us a genre or subject, your details and when and where you want to collect your books. Find out more here.
