Libraries have reopened
We are delighted to announce that all Bexley Libraries have reopened.
We are pleased to advise that you are able to:
- Borrow, return and renew items
- Access a range of Council services and get other types of help from our staff
- Make use of our IT facilities, including using a PC, scanner and printing services (subject to availability). Use is limited to 30 minutes and sessions start at half-past the hour to allow for cleaning.
- Make use of study desks - please note these will be on a first-come, first-served basis
The first floor at Central Library has now reopened.
Please note that the Local Studies and Archive Centre is operating on an appointment-only basis until further notice. Please visit the Local Studies page for more information.
For information about the measures that are in place, please visit the COVID-19 updates page. Please check before your visit for any variations to opening times. These may change at short notice due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our ability to staff and open libraries.
Once again, we’re looking for nominations for our book of the year.

Fiction, non-fiction, children’s … highbrow, lowbrow, old or new, we don’t mind as long as you enjoyed it!

Changes to Bexley's Digital Library

If you already enjoy the Libby app, there is no change, other than you may notice even more great titles available for you to borrow.
Magazines available from PressReader will not be affected.
