Libraries Unlocked is coming soon to Tenbury Library! 

During Libraries Unlocked hours, upgraded members can browse, borrow and return books, use a free computer or Wi-Fi, print or photocopy documents, study, hire meeting rooms, attend community events, and more.

Whether you're a student looking for a quiet place to study, a parent needing flexible access to borrow books with the children, or someone juggling work and personal commitments, Libraries Unlocked makes it easier to use your library when it suits you.

To continue enjoying full access to library services, including use of the building during extended hours, customers will need to upgrade their membership by completing a short induction.

Want to learn more

Come along to one of Worcestershire County Council’s upcoming Libraries Unlocked introduction drop-in sessions at Tenbury Library:

• Saturday 26 July from 11:00am to 1:00pm
• Saturday 2 August from 11:00am to 1:00pm
• Thursday 7 August from 4:30pm to 6:30pm

These sessions are a chance to find out more about how Libraries Unlocked works and to complete a short face-to-face induction with library staff to upgrade your membership. No booking is required. 

From 21 July onwards, you can also visit the library during staffed hours to sign up and complete your induction.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Libraries Unlocked to Tenbury,” said Councillor Ian Cresswell, Worcestershire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Communities. “This upgrade gives residents more freedom to use the library in a way that suits their lives, and it’s already had a fantastic impact in other parts of the county.”

Customers have described Libraries Unlocked as: “A brilliant idea — it’s enabled us as a family to access the library more,” and “The best thing Worcestershire Libraries have done since the introduction of self-service.”
