West Bridgford Library and Young People's Centre

West Bridgford Library is closed for a major £5.3m re-development.

A new, larger and enhanced library is planned on the current site, scheduled for opening in spring 2013. It will also house a new youth centre and a register office, but the ceremony room in the existing register office site in Central Avenue will remain in operation.

A turf cutting project took place on 1 March 2012, World Book day, to celebrate the early stages of the project.


Temporary library

A temporary library is open at 52A Rectory Road, West Bridgford, NG2 6BU.

The library space is based above the Natwest Bank branch; on the first and second floor of the building. Library users can access the temporary library from an independent ground floor entrance via a lift or stairs.

The temporary library is much smaller so provides a basic service with a reduced stock for adults and children and fewer computers. 


The opening hours of the temporary library are:

  • Monday 9.30 - 7.00
  • Tuesday 9.30 - 6.00
  • Wednesday 9.30 - 4.30
  • Thursday 9.30 - 7.00
  • Friday 9.30 - 6.00
  • Saturday 9.00 - 4.00



Other libraries

Other nearby libraries include Ruddington, Radcliffe, Cotgrave, Keyworth and Beeston.
