All Waltham Forest libraries stock a range of adult, teenage and children's fiction and non-fiction titles, including large print titles and audiobooks on CD.

 

Stock Suggestions

 

We try really hard to make sure that we have the books that you like to read in your local library. However, if you can't find the book you are looking for on the shelves then please let us know by e-mailing libraries.support.  We can't promise to buy it but we'll definitely have a look and if it fits with our stock policy and we think lots of other people would also like to read it then you might find it in a library near you in a matter of weeks.

 

Reservations

 

Books can be reserved from any library in Waltham Forest as well as our partner libraries in The Libraries Consortium. These can then be collected at your nearest library. Reservations can be placed online, by phone, or in a library. Please note that reservations may incur a fee.
