A Map of how to get to the Library

Situated in the town centre in a large and airy building, close to public car parks, Evesham Library offers a warm welcome to all ages.  Whether you wish to borrow books, CDs, DVDs or audio tapes for recreation or study, surf the internet or use our well stocked reference library, we can help.

Younger readers have their own library complete with a help desk and  a Homework Club which runs from 3.30 to 5.20pm daily in term time. Special activities are held during holiday periods. Find out more about the homework club, holiday and regular activities using this link.

Use one of our 25 People’s Network PCs for up to 2 hours per day free of charge.  For the visually impaired, we can offer a PC with Dolphin Supernova software

Drop in IT sessions are held on the 1st Wednesday of the month from 10.00am - 12.00noon when staff are available to help you use the internet, email or word processing. The WEA runs 5 week structured IT courses several times a year in the library.
