South Jesmond ward has six distinct neighbourhoods. These are:
Jesmond Library Reopens Monday 13th June.
Jesmond Library on St Georges Terrace has been closed since 14th March for a makeover.The new look library will be revealed on Monday 13th June when it reopens. One noticeable change is that self issue , which is a popular feature in other libraries across the city including the City Library, has been installed . This service will make it possible for library users to issue their own items that they wish to take out of the library. However staff will still be on hand to give help if it is needed.
Other improvements to the library include the installation of more accessible entrance doors to the library, provision of fully accessible toilet facilities for library users and an extension of the current meeting room including the addition of a small kitchen area. This project has been funded using capital money available to North Jesmond Ward Committee.
While the library is closed the mobile library has been visiting the British Legion Club car park on West Jesmond Avenue every Wednesday from 9am-11.45am and 1.30pm-4pm. The last visit will be on Wednesday 8th June. The mobile holds a selection of novels, popular non fiction, large print and children's books. Still something for everyone.
You can also return items to Cafe 1901 in Jesmond Methodist Church and of course you can use your ticket at any other Newcastle library.
We look forward to seeing everyone again at Jesmond Library on Monday 13th June. Refreshments will be served in the new community room throughout the morning. At 10.30am our very own Town Cryer Marjorie Dodds will announce the library's reopening to all in the neighbourhood!
