For a map of how to get to the Library

The original Edwardian library building was extended and re-furbished in 2006 and now offers a light, open contemporary space providing the community with a 'one-stop-shop' for a wide range of local services. These services include the Worcestershire Hub Customer Service Centre and Malvern Registration Services as well as library services. Visitors to the library will find an extensive collection of books and av materials, a self-service issue and return facility, 38 public access computers for all ages, a programme of children's activities and adult learning courses and exhibition space displaying work of local and regional artists.

The Orchard Cafe @ the Library is located on the lower ground floor of the building and serves freshly prepared, locally-sourced, free range and eco friendly products.

Annoucements

The library grounds are available to the local community for events and activities. Please contact the Library Manager.

Storytimes for pre-school children are held in the Children's Library every WEDNESDAY, from 2.15 to 2.45pm.
For details of our other regular activities for children follow this link, where you can also view children's holiday activities taking place at Malvern Library.

Malvern Readers Group

The Group is open to everyone who enjoys talking, about the books they have read. By following a set programme, compiled by the Group, it is hoped that individual members will be tempted to try authors or types of book they may not have read before, rediscover old favourites and increase their enjoyment and appreciation of what they have read through informal discussion with others in the Group.  Meetings take place on the 3rd Thursday in every month (except December) at the Library, starting at 7.00p.m.
