Mobile library
Skip to:
Our mobile library visits sites across Barnet. You can choose books and DVDs to borrow and return items during these times.
Please note that in extreme weather, we may have to amend our routes at short notice or limit the time we spend at some stops. Please accept our apologies for any disruption and inconvenience.
Library Service Budget Consultation
We would like your views on the savings proposals to help balance our budget for next year (2025/26). In particular, our proposals to discontinue the mobile library service, to cease purchasing hard-copy newspapers and to reduce slightly the self-service opening hours at Chipping Barnet, Colindale, Edgware and Finchley Church End libraries. Find out more. Have your say by completing our online questionnaire. Pick up a paper questionnaire or request the consultation in another format by asking library staff in staffed opening times or email LibrariesOnlineHelp@barnet.gov.uk.
