Ilford Central Library is currently being refurbished.

During this time the library is operating a reduced service from the first floor but the Reference Library, Local Studies and Archives, Redbridge Museum and the Schools Library Service will remain open except during April when the whole building will be closed to the public. These areas will reopen again at the beginning of May.

Loan periods for Central Library customers will be extended while the library is closed and customers should select another branch as pick up point for their reservations. Books can still be renewed online or by using our telephone renewal service. All items can be returned to any other library.

The largest and busiest library in Redbridge, Central Library is open every day except Sundays.
