Learning in Libraries
Staff in all our libraries are happy to help you find the best books and other resources for all your learning and studying needs.
There are many self taught learning packages which can be borrowed, and others available online, enabling you to study at your own pace. Why not teach yourself word-processing or learn a new language?
All libraries offer access to the Internet, word processing and other computer-based support, and many have study space. Several Westminster libraries have extra provision for learners:
- Computer/IT courses for the over 50's
- Also take a look at the Education and Back to Work sections of our Gateway to websites for loads more information on courses, qualifications, job seeking and more.
- Help and training for learning about the internet and IT plus much more listed below...
