Hackney's libraries
Over a quarter of a million books, 57,000 DVDs and CDs just waiting to be borrowed, and all for free. Plus a wide range of reading groups and fun activities, educational resources and free computer and internet access.
All of Hackney's eight libraries contain well-stocked children's sections with staff able to give information on finding the right book or toy for your child. Visit your local library to see what's on offer or find out about the many events and activities.

If there is a book,CD or DVD that we don't have, you can suggest that we stock it. Email suggestock@hackney.gov.uk with the title. It does not guarantee that we will buy it, but we will let you know either way. This service is for stock suggestions only and must not be used to reserve items that we already stock.
