Gloucestershire Libraries offer free, warm and welcoming spaces in local communities across the county. Not all libraries are the same but all libraries will provide a basic offer that meets the requirements of the Warm and Welcome scheme.

Libraries are traditionally a place where people can go without judgement or cost, therefore we will continue to offer our usual services alongside the below.

What we offer

  • Warm, dry buildings with spaces to sit and keep warm
  • Free access to the internet and Wi-Fi
  • Places to charge your devices
  • Signposting to advice and support
  • Free activities such as homework help, knit and natter, library clubs

If you are struggling with the cost of living, please ask us about the Databank for internet access at home or on the move.
