You can also enjoy free wireless internet access, WiFi, at all Redbridge libraries (except Aldersbrook and Clayhall libraries). You can log on from anywhere in the library on your own laptop or mobile device. There is no need to book, and you can use the internet for as long as you like.

The children's libraries have computers dedicated for their use. We have special firewalls installed for your child's safety and protection online. Children under 14 can book for up to one hour a day.

Please contact your local branch for details.

Redbridge Libraries have installed a new booking system, and you can book a computer session from home (or while you are logged in at the library). You will need your library barcode number (your library card number) and your PIN number , available from any Redbridge library.
