Brentford Library Reopens for Public Use

Facility on Boston Manor Road now offering click and collect service

Brentford Library, located on Boston Manor Road, is to partially reopen as the upgrade of the facility continues.

While the works are underway, Hounslow Council is opening an area within the library for the public to browse, borrow and return books, from Monday 19 October.

Due to space restrictions in the library, the book stock is limited. However, a ‘Click and Collect’ service is being offered, which will give customers access to a wider range of books. These can be reserved online, by emailing brentford.library@hounslow.gov.uk or by calling 020 8583 5550.

Cllr Chaudhary, Cabinet Member for Leisure Services at Hounslow Council, said, “The amazing improved refurbished library will be a great space for local residents to enjoy. As soon as we are in a position to share more information about the official opening we will do so.

“We know how important the library is to our community, so are delighted to be able to open a section of it, for people to visit. However, due to space restrictions, our book stock is limited. We therefore encourage residents to use the click and collect service.”

The library will operate at reduced capacity with the aim of making it safe for customers and staff. Visitors are required to wear a face covering in the library (unless exempt), keep a safe distance of 2m from others and sanitise their hands before entry. Access to the library will be via the side entrance in Windmill Road.

The library opening times are:

Monday: 10am to 3pm
Tuesday: 10am to 3pm
Wednesday: closed
Thursday: 10am to 3pm
Friday: closed
Saturday: 10am to 3pm.
