Camden has a wide range of childrens libraries. Most of the childrens libraries are now open (at 28 May 2021) and Library Services have offered us the opportunity to have face-to-face visits with families. The libraries are bookable and only one family can book at a time (ring community-run libraries to check their arrangements before you visit). 

All libraries are also listed in the postcode tabs on the left.
