Pilot scheme

From 20 June 2011 Leyton Library has been acting as a pilot to enable customers to access the Council's services.

As well as issuing books, staff will also be on-hand to answer general queries and help visitors access the services they need over the phone or online.

Although the library will not offer a 'walk-in' service for housing or benefit-related enquiries, you will be able to pre-book appointments to discuss these matters. These meetings will be away from the main library area to ensure privacy.

Regular activities

  • Monday: Storytelling session for under 5s, 10.15am-11am
  • Thursday: Storytelling session for under 5s, 10am-10.45am
  • Saturday: Councillors' surgery every Saturday, 10am-12noon
