There’s no better way than to start your week than with a new book! Look at what’s new in the library. We are open Monday 1-5pm.
A medieval morning is coming to Walkley library on 22 April. Timing: 10.30-13.00. The event is free. There’s activities for 5-12 year olds including: - medieval pair games, matching pictures of animals from medieval manuscripts - choose your own stories based on medieval stories
A significant amount of lead has been stolen off the Library roof. We’re open as normal and volunteers are working hard to keep the building safe and warm for everyone to visit. If you saw anything, please contact the police.
We are pleased to announce that the kind donation by Kathy Bentley’s family has been used to buy books we know she would have loved. Kathy was an avid reader and used Walkley library for 55 years. You can find these in the library and each one has a special inscription inside. 📚
The library will remain closed today. We hope you're enjoying your snow days, see you (weather permitting) next week!
We have decided to close the library today (Friday 10th March) due to the heavy snow. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope you are all keeping warm and safe ❄️
We have decided to postpone tomorrow’s Babytime due to the snow - apologies to everyone who was planning to attend, we’ll have a rescheduled date for you soon! 💕
Brighten up your day with a trip to the library. We have an impromptu book sale today to help raise funds to buy more lovely new books like this wonderful selection. Have a browse and pick up some books for you and your loved ones. 📚📚#walkley #libraries
📣Brand new books in the library Some are on the catalogue, some will be added on Monday. If you would like to reserve any online. Log in to your account or email [email protected] Or be the first in at 1pm on Monday. Be quick, 4 of them are already on hold! 📚
Only have a couple of minutes to rush in for picture books? Or overwhelmed with the choice our many wonderful books? Why not take a few from our Quick Pick table, full (for now) of books we particularly like. Also check out the brand new books displays - more books added weekly.
