We are proud to be one of only eight community-run libraries in Gloucestershire.
The Brockworth Community Library not only lends books, but delivers vital resources for the community, serving as a cornerstone for learning, creativity and social connection in our community.
Each year, we welcome over 13,000 visitors, providing a safe and engaging space for people of all ages to explore books, develop new skills, and take part in a wide range of activities.
Our team of dedicated volunteers, many of whom have been with us since the very beginning, are the heart and soul of the library
