o o Bolton Libraries are open! All of Bolton’s libraries are currently open for Order and Collect and essential computer use. We’ve reduced our opening hours slightly during the current restrictions and you can keep up to date with them and all our other services. Click Here
Reserving and requesting items – Order and Collect You can reserve any lending item for collection at any library via the catalogue. If we don’t have the particular book in stock, you can put in a request for it via your online library account. You’ll get a notification when the items are available to pick up and they will be held for two weeks. You can collect them any time during library opening hours. Opening hours vary so check before making your journey. For more information about any of these services, please email libraries@bolton.gov.uk or call 01204 332 853.
Online Events and Activities We have online story times, exhibitions and activities regularly on our website and social media. You can also find out more information about what’s going on in the Libraries, Museum and Historic Halls by following us on Facebook and Twitter.
Home Library Service If you are unable to get to a library, you can register for the Home Library Service. This is a free book delivery service which we have extended to anyone who is shielding or vulnerable during the pandemic. When you join you will be asked to give us an idea of what you like to read and whether you’d prefer standard, large print or recorded books. Once registered we will deliver up to six items which you can keep for two weeks. For more information you can call Farnworth Library on 01204 332 345 or email homelibraryservice@bolton.gov.uk
