Neston Library
Christmas and New Year opening hours
Our libraries will be operating a revised service over the Christmas period. Our opening hours can be found on our Christmas and New Year service changes page. Loans will not be due back on closed days and can be renewed at any time online.
Whilst our libraries are closed over the festive period, you can find alternative warm places to go, near you. More information can be found on the Warm Welcome Spaces website.
We have a wide range of eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, eNewspapers and eResources free of charge.
Our libraries are now fine-free for children aged 0 to 12 years so they will no longer be charged for any overdue items. Any pre-existing late charges have been removed from their accounts.

Home Library Service
The Home Library Service provides library books and talking books directly to the homes of readers who are unable to collect their own items from a library. If you would like to use the Home Library Service, please ask a member of staff.
We’re always looking for new volunteers and there are a number of ways to help, from selecting items for customers, to driving and dropping off items at customers’ homes. Applications can be made via our Volunteering page.
