Hammersmith Library Closing Until Week Before Christmas


Pop-up library will be provided on King Street


Hammersmith Library on Shepherd's Bush Road

November 25, 2024

Due to major repairs being needed, Hammersmith Library on Shepherd's Bush Road was closed this Monday (25 November) for three weeks.

The facility is currently scheduled to reopen on Monday 16 December. In the meantime, library users can still drop off any books they have had issued in a collection bin outside the library, or at any other library in the borough.

Any books due during the closure period have been automatically extended through until December.

Our other libraries all also remain open for your use, and the borough’s online library is open 24/7 for all your e-book, e-audio e-magazine and e-newspaper needs.

These are based at:

Shepherds Bush Library, 6 Wood Lane, W12 7BF
Fulham Library, 598 Fulham Road, SW6 5NX
Askew Road Library, 87-91 Askew Road, W12 9AN.

A library access point with limited services has been set up at the council officers 145 King Street.

This will be open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, with a small range of titles to choose from. From here, you will be able to pick up any reservations made before 25 November, return any books you may have already borrowed and speak to Hammersmith Library staff.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
