About Waltham Forest libraries

Last updated 9 May 2013

Libraries are much more than a place where books are stored. They provide everyone with access to knowledge, culture and information. They are an ideal place to study or relax. They offer a wide range of books, free Internet access, and free WiFi (Walthamstow, Leytonstone, Hale End and North Chingford, Leyton and Lea Bridge libraries) access.
