The Avonmore Library & Neighbourhood Centre Opens

The new Avonmore Library

The smell of builders paint didn’t spoil today’s quite opening of the new Avonmore Library and Neighbourhood Centre. The facilities, in the old Barons Court Library building, include the relocated Citizens Advice Bureau, previously sited in Mund Street; the London Irish Care office (due to open on the 9th July) and the reduced in size, but welcome, revamped library.

 The CAB is fully up and running, but the library is waiting for new shelving to display more books (needed) and the computer/internet services won't be working until next week. Update: Internet access is now available.

 The library has just 50% of the previous area and it shows, with a limited book catalogue, but it still provides a small newspaper/magazine reading section, a children’s book space and six internet connected computers. 

 The Centre is managed by the CAB, with volunteer library staffing, self service machines and connected to H&F's online library catalogue, so books can be renewed, ordered to collect and returned there.

 A 24 hour automated service is available by phone 0303 123 0035 and online www.lbhf.gov.uk/libraries (Library card number and PIN required)
