Burbage Community Library
Welcome to Burbage Community Library, a Registered Charity (No. 1165707) and completely self-funding. Established in 2016, the Library is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation entirely managed and run by local volunteers, including our Board of 10 annually-appointed local Trustees.
We provide a Warm Welcome to everyone and with the continued support of Leicestershire County Council offer a free book loan service to adults and children, including reading initiatives for the young. We also offer a range of wider services and activities, all aimed at benefiting local Burbage residents. These include regular and occasional events and fayres; participation in other local activities; our Friendly Bench ™; and our Friendly Bookshop.
The Library is set within its own gardens, including a flat paved area that leads directly to the Wheelchair-Accessible Main Entrance. Assistance Dogs are very welcome and there are always at least two volunteer staff available during ‘opening hours’ to welcome, assist and support all users. A Disabled Toilet, Nappy Changing facilities and Light Refreshments are also available on-site.
The Gardens are a wonderful place to meet and relax. They include the ‘famous’ Friendly Bench, lawn, fruit trees, flower beds, bird table and feeding area, bird bath, nesting boxes, and a good-sized Picnic Table for everyone to enjoy all year round.
The Library’s main Loan Section includes Adult, Children, Teenage, Large Print and Audio Books.
