Your communityBringing people together
Gathering with people is good for us. It provides fun, a sense of belonging and shared experiences that enrich our lives.
With activities and groups for all ages and interests, libraries act as community hubs for everyone.

Your community
Being part of a community offers social connection, friendship and support. It’s great for our mental health.
At your library you might find groups for crafters, gardeners, readers, artists, quizzers, slimmers, writers or local historians. Young children enjoy story and rhyme times, and older ones benefit from LEGO clubs, Chatterbooks groups, reading challenges and more.
“Our library is part of the reason we haven’t moved - it’s the central hub of the community.”
Customer, Sandwell Libraries
