Library opening hours
Paddington Library is undergoing building works for the next 12 weeks, the noise level will be high throughout this period. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Paddington Library will be closed on Saturday 13th April, due to ongoing works taking place. There will be lifting works taking place as a crane will be operating and lifting materials over the public footpath from the road (which will also be closed for the duration of the works.) Paddington Children's Library will remain open with usual opening hours on the day. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
A selection of non-fiction books are now available on the ground floor of Paddington Library. Please note: the lower ground floor is still closed. Please speak to library staff for more information.
