Libraries

Abraham Moss Library

Abraham Moss Library is currently being redeveloped. Our temporary home can be found close to Abraham Moss High School car park, and is a place for the whole family.

Avenue Library and Learning Centre

This ultra modern library and learning centre is the place to come for films (on DVD) and for books, free Wi-Fi and internet-ready computers as well as leisure classes and meeting rooms.

Barlow Moor Community Library

There’s always something going on here because we’re part of Barlow Moor Community Association’s fantastic building opposite Merseybank Avenue shops. Thanks to volunteer support we can open 36 hours a week.

Beswick Library

We’re in a wonderful, bright, modern glass-fronted library with light flooding in to the beautifully equipped building we share with the East Manchester Academy. No dusty books or ‘quiet please’. Locals are welcome. Just walk in the doors and drink in the atmosphere.

Brooklands Library

We believe in reading, online learning, improving your prospects and enjoying all the library’s fun and facilities

Chorlton Library

This cornerstone of Chorlton life is a gem that was funded by Scottish-American benefactor Andrew Carnegie in 1914. It’s a listed building, protected forever from demolition and bad redevelopment.

Gorton Library

Gorton Library is moving across the road to the new Gorton Hub!

Longsight Library and Learning Centre

Manchester’s most diverse and bustling neighbourhood deserves a library to match. So if your morning paper is in Bangla or Urdu, we’ve got it. If you like your picture books in Polish, we have some. If you like your fiction in Farsi, we’ve got that too.
