Would you like Lambourn Library to be open for more hours?

West Berkshire Council is changing the way in which it funds libraries. Parish Councils will be able to “buy in” additional hours, via an agreement with WBC. This survey is asking Parishioners if they would like the Lambourn Library to open for more hours each week.

Please click here to complete a short survey and give your views – it will take less than a minute to complete. Please complete the survey by Monday 10th February 2025.

Currently, Lambourn Library (High Street, Lambourn, between Morrisons and Wendy’s) is open for 16 hours per week, which is the least number of hours of any West Berkshire library. The current opening hours are:

Tuesday:        2 pm – 5.30 pm
Wednesday:  10 am – 1 pm
Friday:            10 am – 5 pm
Saturday:       10 am – 12.30 pm

Membership is free.

  • Free Wi-Fi in the library
