Due to the red warning for extreme heat issued by day the Met Office we have taken the decision to CLOSE Forest Hill, Manor House and Sydenham Libraries on Monday 18th & Tuesday 19th of July.
With temperatures predicted to hit 39 degrees and buildings with no air conditioning and little ventilation we need to put the safety of our users, volunteers and staff first.
We hope to REOPEN Forest Hill and Manor House on Wednesday 20th of July and Sydenham on Thursday 21st July.

A tea and conversation time focus towards newly arrived and displaced persons.
We will be give out a lot of useful information such as shops, transport, emergency services, school life, a bit of cultural induction, explain how the healthcare system works and where they can find language courses.
There’ll also be plenty of tasty eastern European snacks and tea! Please feel free to join even if you aren't new to the area as you can provide some helpful tips!
Every Friday at 5pm at Manor House Library.
