Folkestone Library

Folkestone Library will be closed from Tuesday 29 December 2020 for 7 weeks (subject to confirmation) as the site has been identified as a suitable location for a Covid19 testing centre.

All library and birth registration services will be temporarily suspended. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Hythe Library is open for birth registration appointments.

Any items on loan before the first lock-down have been extended until 31 May 2021. There are no fines when the library is closed. The out-of-hours returns facility is currently unavailable at this library. Your nearest alternative is Hythe Library.
