Did you know?
"There’s a building quite close to you where
many murders have been committed. Secret agents have been found
there, aliens have invaded, love has conquered, several wars have
been fought, rings of power have been hidden, witches have been
burned and great lives have been lived.
"If you haven’t discovered your local library, you’re missing out
on a whole universe of imagination, adventure and knowledge... All
of which is absolutely free. And they have newspapers, magazines
and DVDs too! Libraries are really so wonderful that it’s quite
easy to forget they’re there. Join today!"
— Anthony Horowitz, Author

One-day closures of libraries
All libraries in the
borough will be closed on Wednesday 7 May 2008 for a service
development day. All our staff will be involved as the part of a
MLA-funded
programme to modernise the organisation and service delivery of
Rochdale Library Service.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these closures.
New telephone contact number
for libraries
From 10 March 2008 you can now access our Library
Services outside traditional working hours on 0845 121
2976 for library renewals and membership enquiries.
Advisors will be available to deal with enquiries from 8am-8pm
Monday to Friday and 9am-5pm on Saturday.
Libraries closed

We are improving our libraries and have extended the services we
provide at some of our other libraries during the refurbishment
works. The following libraries are temporarily
closed: Heywood Library and Smallbridge Library.
We apologise for any inconvenience and welcome your custom
at any library in the borough. Your barcoded library
card lets you borrow or reserve items from any of our
