Local people can now visit their nearest library to access a range of activities and support, close to home.
As a result of the Council transforming all 11 of its libraries into community hubs, people across the borough can now visit their local library to access a range of support, close to home. This will complement the existing library offer of books, computers and workspaces, activities and more.
Since the launch of Hounslow’s community hubs in 2023, they have helped more than 10,000 local people to access support. The Council's hubs also offer free activities for children and adults.
Voluntary sector groups such as Citizens Advice Hounslow and Hounslow Seniors Trust can also be found in many Hounslow libraries. Making it easier for people to find the right help, at the right time, closer to home.

Hounslow’s community hub and libraries are also great places to take up an activity, make new friends or learn new skills. During the winter, people can also stay out of the cold in their local library, reading, using a computer or making friends at one of many activities.
