Carlton Library

Carlton Library

Welcome to Carlton Library - you’ll find us on Manor Road, next to the Fire Station. Come in and you’ll find a library full of character with friendly and helpful staff.

We are well stocked with a range of books to suit everyone’s needs from children’s fiction to adult crime and travel. Find the latest hit novels on our quick choice shelf or check out our themed book displays for more inspiration.

But we don’t just do books, we have 6 free to use public PC’s for both children and adults, photocopying, printing and scanning facilities and free Wi-Fi! We have a café area where you can relax with a hot drink from our drinks station.

We have regular events that run throughout the year that are open to all. Crafters have an opportunity to join Crafty Chat weekly on Tuesday afternoons. We also have Places of Welcome on Thursday afternoons, where you get to meet new people and have a complimentary cuppa. Everyone is welcome! 

For our smallest of customers, we have a weekly Rhyme, Rattle and Roll session on a Tuesday morning where we get together and sing some well-known nursery rhymes with our grown-ups, even during the school holidays! 

We host regular sessions of Lullaby Bank and Adventures in Music. These are bookable sessions of which you can find additional information on our website.

During school holidays we run activities aimed for children aged 4 -11 years. Keep an eye out online and in the library for more information on when these will be happening!

Inspire Learning has a wide range of courses for all ages. Pop in to pick up a brochure or ask staff about what we have to offer.

Don’t forget to like us on Facebook @InspireNottinghamshireLibraries for all the up-to-date news, events, and gossip from Inspire Libraries.

We look forward to welcoming you at Carlton Library.
