Our community libraries make the library service more accessible for people who find it difficult to get into Town.
There are four around the island: Western Community Library at St Saviour's Community Centre; La Nouvelle Maraitaine in Vale; Rosaire Court in St Peter Port; and the Salvation Army Community Centre on the Bridge (see the map below). All are easy to find and have plenty of parking.
The community libraries have fiction and non-fiction books, large print, audiobooks and DVDs. You'll find a warm welcome from our friendly volunteers, plus regular events for children and adults. Drop in to enjoy the library service without the hassle of going into Town.
