Warwickshire Libraries helping with the cost of living

Warwickshire Libraries offer lots of free library services to help with the cost of living

Cost of living increases have impacted the way we all live our lives. Here at Warwickshire Libraries, we offer a comfortable safe environment for everyone to use and our free services will help to keep some of your costs down.

You don’t need to be a library member to visit – just pop in.

Choose to spend time reading, studying, working and using free library WiFi; tackle a jigsaw, play a board game, become absorbed in mindfulness colouring or join in our free library events and activities to make friends or learn something new.
