Accessibility

Patrons of Bromley borough libraries typically utilise nearby public car parks as many of our libraries do not have dedicated car parks. As such, availability of spaces, including accessible ones, are reliant on nearby services.

Every effort has been made to make our libraries as accessible as possible. However, due to nuances we face with some of our older locations, this is not always possible.

As such, if you require wheelchair accessibility, please note that only the following libraries have full wheelchair accessibility:

The following libraries have a small lip on the door that may make entry difficult, but are otherwise accessible. Please call for further information.

The following library is not wheelchair accesible.

 At Bromley Libraries, we offer a range of services and activities for those who are partially sighted or blind. 
Our VIP book groups help visually impaired people enjoy reading as we listen to and discuss audiobooks and we have a collection of large-print children's books for younger kids who have low vision. 

Get in touch with your local library to find out more about what services are available in your area.
