Reviews for Keats Community Library

A solace to find a quiet place for reading and contemplation. I was compelled to tell two young adults that the etiquette of libraries is not to talk and if they wanted to converse a cafe may be better suited. However, my request was undermined by the repeated and loud conversations going on… at the lending desk.

I’m so grateful for this space. It’s a lovely place just to visit, and you could pop into Keat’s House as well. Over the years I’ve visited many times just to get my documents printed so for that alone I’m grateful. We’re incredibly blessed to have Keats Library.

We do our best to keep up the traditions of a library in the modern age serving the community, open to all and free to use and lots of cultural events. Thank you to all the wonderful supporters- volunteers and donors who make it possible to carry out our mission without any public money.

As a family we love the library and we feel so lucky to have so many dedicated people who are helping running it. Also the board organises wonderful events. It is great to see the library full of people of all different generations who use it in their different ways.

Delighted to see you want t come to the Twelfth Night Performance. We will have a limited number of chairs at the rear to help those there to see better. You can also bring your own chair. We would just request that it is placed so as to ensure others can see as well.
Hey yes when I went there they were open and there were many new books which I hadn’t seen before too so it looks like their shelves are being updated for all the newest books!
