Kilburn Library is open for customers to browse and choose their own books and to use our public computers and study spaces.
You don’t need to book a computer in advance, PCs are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Access is limited to two hours per day. You can also scan, print and photocopy documents. View the Acceptable Use of Public Computers policy (PDF) and our Acceptable use of Wi-Fi policy (PDF).
You can return any outstanding books, DVDs or CDs on loan within the opening hours.
We also offer a range of activities for our library users, see: What's on this month.
Did you know you can rent household, gardening or DIY tools and appliances from Library of Things rather than buying new? If you are only going to use a particular tool or device once, this is a green way to complete your task. Library of Things is at Kilburn and Kentish Town libraries. Reserve your item online, pick it up and return when you're done!
The library has a number of other measures in place to keep customers and staff safe.
Our services may change at short notice. For the latest information, see Library news.
We are continuing to plan the refurbishment of Kilburn Library. Thanks to a grant from the Libraries Improvement Fund administered by The Department for, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and Arts Council England, Kilburn Library will be refurbished to celebrate the collections and make the space more engaging and practical for community events and activities. We have developed plans based on feedback from residents gathered last year, but we would like to hear from you again. Visit Kilburn Library from Monday 2 June to Saturday 14 June to share your ideas and comments with the team.

Contacting the Council at your local library
Courtesy phones have recently been reinstated in all Camden Libraries except Pancras Square Library where residents can speak with a team member at Contact Camden. This means you can speak with someone and complete tasks by using the phone at the library. Ask the library team if you need assistance.
IT upgrade
We are upgrading the IT network across Camden’s libraries. This will:
- replace older equipment
- provide faster more reliable access
- reduce carbon emissions
We will be carrying out the upgrade during opening hours. This means there will be no Internet access at the library before 3pm, Monday 4 November. Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.
Displaying posters and flyers
The library displays posters to promote local events and services. Our Community Information Policy outlines the criteria used when deciding whether to display a particular poster.
