Following the closure of Wallasey Village Library in October 2022, a group of residents got together to see if they could take it over from the council and reopen it as a library and community centre.
After two years, and with the support of Wallasey Village Library Friends, St George’s Primary School and Baked, we re-opened in December 2024.
We want this fantastic building to be the ‘hub’ for our local community – welcoming to anyone who wants to use it, whether it’s to read a book or newspaper; work on their laptop away from home or to bring the children somewhere interesting and ‘new’.
Maybe you’d like to grab a coffee and catch up with friends; join one of the groups we host or attend the events we organise.
We’ve been hitting the headlines as well lately…
