Reimagining Kingston's Libraries
Kingston Council is working with local communities to reimagine local library services
Reimagining Kingston Libraries is an exciting opportunity for us to work with the community to help shape your library service of the future. The transformational review aims to place libraries at the heart of the community and bring council services closer to residents, ensuring they meet the needs of communities both now and in the future.
We want you to tell us how you would like to use library spaces, and how you think the library should support you and other members of the community.
We will use your ideas to inform the future library strategy and we will be reporting on our findings in Spring 2021.
If you require access to the ideas tool below in a more accessible format, please call 020 8547 6451 on Wednesdays 10am - 4pm

Kingston Libraries are cultural spaces at the heart of our community. Alongside supplying a wide range of books and reading materials, Kingston’s Libraries provide a variety of resources, events and classes to educate, entertain and support their communities. Share your ideas on how we can make this happen.

More of the same for families
Our local library has not reopened yet and we miss it greatly. I hope that this consultation is not a way to cut once more in public services. We used to go to Old Malden library every Saturday morning with our primary school children, and borrow books for the whole family. We loved the kids activities too. Please do not take this away from us.

Community Delivery Service
The Library service should re-start the delivery service asap, a lot of esp older people are tending towards MH problems due to isolation and lockdown, please give them a fresh book to read. Pre-lockdown the Library delivered books to my mother and they were a breath of fresh air, now she is re-reading the same one for the Nth time.

A coffee shop and maybe a creche for babies, so adults could study for longer.
