Until 31 March 2024, all our libraries have extended opening hours to become Warm Havens, providing safe, non-judgemental, warm spaces during the cold winter months.
As well as a warm welcome and advice, libraries also offer:
- free Wi-Fi
- a busy schedule of regular activities to suit all ages and interests, from parent and toddler sessions, coffee mornings, code clubs, digital skills sessions, chess, knitting
- and much more
Use the map linked below to search for your nearest warm haven. You can see opening hours, address and available facilities.

Alongside extending library opening hours, we have relaunched a dedicated Warm Haven grants programme. Grants of up to £2,000 are available to voluntary, community and faith sector organisations who can support the borough’s response to the growing pressures of the cost of living.
