Charity
Garden Suburb Community Library
The HGS Residents Association and many members of the local community in 2011 campaigned to prevent the closure by the London Borough of Barnet of the little Hampstead Garden Suburb Library in the Market Place. The campaign was successful, and within just a few days of the borough librarians being redeployed to other libraries in April 2012, Garden Suburb Community Library opened its doors to readers again, this time in the hands of about 40 volunteers who have been trained to run it.
It has been a huge success. We run toddlers’ read and rhyme and story time sessions, have recruited volunteers for older children’s activities, and have launched an adult book club.
