MORE INFO …
Usually I would say “Click this link to find out more about the library and follow their work on Instagram”. ALAS! Bethnal Green Library does not have its own instagram, or social media channel, so you can’t do that.Â
I encourage you instead to try the hashtag #BethnalGreenLibrary as a way to discover posts put up by a) regular users of this treasured resource, and b) visitors to the borough who stumble across it and are charmed by what they see.
Bethnal Green Library welcomes all visitors – you don’t have to be a borough resident to enjoy the space and the resources.
 Tower Hamlets is part of the London-wide Consortium, which enables resource-sharing across different boroughs. So if you have a library card already, and your borough is part of the Consortium, you can use Bethnal Green Library as though it were your own branch.
If you don’t currently have a library card, take some ID with you, and get one!
There are all sorts of marvellous things a person can do with a library card, and no place nicer than Bethnal Green Library – a vibrant and beautiful space built by and for the people – in which to sign up for one.
