Getting to Fenham Library

Fenham Library is easy to get to and has:

• local bus stops in both directions outside the library (for bus numbers 36, 72, 63, and 87)
• a pocket park next to the library building
• cycle racks
• limited free on-street parking on Fenham Hall Drive, close to the library

We share the building with colleagues from Public Health, which enables the library to remain open for longer hours.
