Stoke Newington Library
Stoke Newington Library refurbishment
We closed Stoke Newington Library on 31 March 2024 for up to two years. We did this because we need to do major works to repair the roof and fabric of the Grade 2 listed building.
Work has already begun on the capital improvement project for the library. From April to June 2024, the:
- inside of the library, basements and back offices were completely cleared
- book stock and reference library collections were moved to Dalston Library where they are being stored
- Community Library Service has been temporarily moved to Stamford Hill Library
During the closure period, you can use services at nearby branches. Clissold House is holding Under 5s rhymetimes. A book deposit facility has been set up in the foyer of Stoke Newington Town Hall for people picking up and dropping off books.
