St John's Wood Library

St Johns Wood Library 2009

St John's Wood Library is a busy community library open seven days a week.

We offer plenty of space for reading and study in a bright and modern environment. We have a wide selection of the latest books, talking books, CDs, DVDs, newspapers and magazines. There are  monthly Book Clubs. Free internet access is available in the PC suite. Find out about other facilities available in the library.

The children's library has a weekly Under 5s session, and there is a dedicated Teen Zone on the lower ground floor which contains the latest young adult book titles and a separate PC with study space.

We also have an exhibition space available for artists (for more information please contact the library). You can find up-to-date information on any events taking place in the library by visiting the Events at St John's Wood Library page, and get a flavour of some of the things we've been up to by reading the Books & the City blog.
