About the library

Swiss Cottage Library is open for customers to browse and choose their own books, visit our children's library, and use our public computers and study spaces.

Customers don’t need to book computers in advance: computers are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Access is limited to four hours per day. You can also scan, print and photocopy documents. View the Acceptable Use of Public Computers policy (PDF).

You can return any outstanding books, DVDs or CDs on loan within the opening hours. 

We also offer a range of activities for our library users, see: What's on this month

The library has a number of measures in place to keep customers and staff safe.  

Our services may change at short notice. For the latest information, see Library news.
