On 22nd December 2023 Highgate Library closed for the decarbonisation project. We currently have a Library Pop Up Bus parked in Chester Road near the library on two days a week. Tuesday and Wednesday 12.30-4.30pm. The services that are available are:
- returning books
- making book reservations

Kentish Town Library is the closest library so please do explore what’s on offer there and if you are unable to visit Kentish Town Library please let us know and the Home Library Service can visit you with a selection of books.
In the meantime our nearest library is Kentish Town. For details see the Kentish Town Library webpage.
