Clapham Library


Clapham Library is moving

On Saturday 26 May 2012 we will be closing the doors on the old library for the last time. You will still be able to return books there or to any of the other libraries while we are getting the new library ready to open.

The new library is situated at the Mary Seacole Centre, 91 Clapham High Street, SW4 7BD and will be opening on a date to be announced in due course. We look forward to welcoming you to the new library. It is going to be an exciting time, with more books, computers, Wi-Fi and rooms for hire in what is a fantastic building.
