We are open!
The library is now fully open for browsing and selection of our comprehensive stock of books Tuesday – Saturday 10.00 – 5.00
We also offer printing, copying and scanning using our computers, by email or direct from your mobile phone at 10p per side printed
For the moment we are not able to restart our children’s activities because our lovely library is so small, taking social distancing considerations into account, but we know our young families are raring to come back and we will review the position in the coming months – see below
Our book club meets on Zoom for the moment – see further details see below.
We have a sneeze screen on the counter, with a large bottle of hand sanitiser, and we would ask that you wear a mask when entering the library.
So don’t delay, come and browse some of our amazing books !
Sing Song time recorded at Garden Suburb Community Library
Virginia has run an amazingly successful Sing Song Time at Garden Suburb Community Library on Thursdays, for a number of years.
Especially for the many children confined to their homes for the foreseeable future Virginia recorded a special Sing Song Time just for you!
You can access it here: Sing Song time recorded at Garden Suburb Community Library
For those reading this who are not members of the library, it is based in a very special area – Hampstead Garden Suburb in North West London. The library is run by 40 volunteers.
Virginia would be delighted if you would pass this link on to friends and family and do post it on social media.
Virginia would also love to receive feedback either by email mail@gardensuburblibrary.org.uk or on through Facebook @gardensuburbcommunitylibrary or Twitter @HGScLibrary
FREE TODDLER FUN AT THE COMMUNITY LIBRARY (suspended for the moment – we will be back!)
On Thursdays we run two sessions of Sing Song Time, 10 – 10:30am and 10:45 to 11:15am. Sing Song Time is a first library activity for under threes and their carers. The aim is for the children to join in the singing, as well as have fun. We sing familiar songs every week and the children are encouraged to join in both the music and movement, gradually building up their confidence.
On Tuesday we run Story / Song Time from 10:15 to 10:45am. We welcome toddlers and their carers into a warm, friendly group. We provide rhythm and rhyme making activities alongside both new and familiar songs, and an introduction into the world of exciting and boundless stories beyond home provision.
Come and join us for some fun with your little ones!
THE LIBRARY BOOKCLUB ON ZOOM
The book club meets on the first Friday of the month at 3pm. Its members have chosen a selection of books from the Booker Prize shortlists.
The next meeting is on 4th February and will be discussing “Oscar & Lucinda” by Peter Carey.
Eventually the club hopes to get back to meeting in the Library but in the meantime Zoom works extremely well.
Please email Ruth or Tina at mail@gardensuburblibrary.org.uk if you are interested and they will send you the Zoom links.
GARDEN SUBURB POLICE
Garden Suburb Police Safer Neighbourhood Team will be having the following drop in surgeries at our Library in 2021.
These are suspended for the moment, but will recommence when the library reopens.
This is an opportunity for you to tell them of your community and security concerns, quality of life issues and influence local policing. They provide Crime Prevention and personal safety advice, how to register your mobile phone, mark and identify your property.
