Our libraries are operated by Greenwich Leisure Limited who also support the community hubs.
Core, mobile libraries and most Community Hubs are now open and over the summer we will be reintroducing our full range of services.
All council-run libraries and mobile libraries close on Bank Holidays throughout the year.
