*Libraries Show their Support for New Arrivals from Ukraine*
world
New arrivals from anywhere in the world are, and always have been, welcome in our libraries. They are the ideal place to find help and information about local services, to borrow books and use computers.
Libraries are safe places where you will find suportive staff on hand to help you, as well as social and educational activities.
Nearly everything is free and we also offer online services which can be accessed from computers or mobile devices, away from the library building.
Along with Nottingham City Council and other UK libraries we have focussed on resources for Ukraine at this time to show our support, but the information is useful for any new arrival to Nottingham. You’ll find this and much more on our website here [ [link removed] ].
