Opening Hours

Due to the NLA closure, we sadly can no longer offer an IM service but we are still accepting calls just as usual. We thank you for your understanding.

Give us a call

Our number can be found on the back of your library card. If you cannot get in contact with a volunteer during opening times, we are very sorry and it will only be because our volunteers are already taking a contact. Please try to contact us again that night, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Don't know what to expect when you call us? Visit our FAQ's page for more details.
