Libraries

Libraries are an important feature of most communities and can be found across Birmingham. 

According to The National Literacy Trust:

“Children who go to a library are twice as likely as those who don’t to read well.”

Our libraries offer much more than just reading books though, including events for children and young people, including those with special educational needs and disabilities.
