Pimlico Library

Pimlico Library is a small but busy community library mainly serving local residents.

The library runs a Reading Group and a creative writing group

There is a separate children's library on the first floor which holds regular sessions for Under 5s (including Spanish storytelling) as well as activities for children during holiday periods. There is also a term-time homework club.

Despite the busyness of the library and the hectic children's section there is also a quiet place to sit and read.

You can find up-to-date information on any events taking place in the library by visiting the News section.

Opening hours

Our libraries are closed on English Bank Holidays. For information on any other temporary changes please see the News page.
