Richmond Lending Library is Grade II listed and the earliest public library (opened 1881) in London still in use as a library today. So please do continue to visit.

Further good news is that Hampton Wick Library is open once again following cabling improvements and Castelnau Library is open again following some essential works.

We are welcoming back customers for browsing, 'click & collect' and computer use. Please remember to wear a face covering when you visit.
