We are following the Government roadmap out of lockdown and offering services according to current restrictions.

These include self-service borrowing and free access to computers and Wi-Fi.

However services may change at short notice and our webpage www.southglos.gov.uk/librarychanges is kept updated.

You can:

• Enjoy the simple pleasure of choosing your own items, we have lots of new titles in stock. Reading can be whatever you need it to be - relaxing, escapism, challenging, stress relief, fun! Our library catalogue of 2.5 million items gives you even more to choose from at your fingertips and now reserving items to collect from a library convenient to you costs less – just 50p per item (free for anyone under 18).
• If you prefer, you can still order ahead using Click and Collect. Book a collection slot online or by calling 01454 865022, answer a few questions and we'll choose items based on your answers - for you, for your children or both.
