Warm Spaces in Libraries

Bradford Libraries are welcoming spaces open for everyone.

We can offer a great place to sit and keep warm. You can read newspapers and books, use the computers or Wi Fi. You can also do a jigsaw or take part in activities and events in the library.

Our Library offers include:

• Friendly and supportive Library teams offering a warm welcome for everyone
• Information about the local area and sources of help and support
• Access to free wi-fi and use of the PressReader hotspot with your device when you visit.
• for more information on regular family activities and other free events for children

You can always visit our Libraries without joining as a Library member.

You can enjoy a hot drink or maybe some soup in our Libraries during our winter Warm Space sessions. See the list below for Warm Space times in our larger libraries.
