GO Libraries in Newcastle

There are several libraries in the Newcastle area so if you need information, if no one else can help, and if you can find one, maybe you should consider a trip to the local library.

Of course libraries in Newcastle, like libraries elsewhere in the world, have a wide variety of books for you to read for pleasure or use for research on a range of diverse subjects.

However many libraries have evolved from just being large literary lockers to being centres of information access that use a range of methods to help you find out what you want to know. And at City Library in Newcastle you will find a wealth of information in a variety of forms.

City Library [map], located on Princess Square, has four floors of knowledge that can be used by any member of the public. This library boasts a family history and genealogy room, a digital theatre, a children’s library and a local studies library as well as having books, CDs, videos, DVDs and free Internet access.

To use most of the library’s facilities you just need to turn up and walk in, however if you want to borrow books or multimedia items, or if you want to use some of the computers, you will need to join. Membership is free and you just need to take along some form of identification with you that shows your name and address.

Newcastle’s City Library can be found close to the Monument Metro station with entrances on New Bridge Street and John Dobson Street.

As well as the main library, Newcastle also has 17 branch libraries. These are spread across the Newcastle area and many offer similar facilities to the main library in terms of access to books, music, films and computers. A few of the other libraries in the area include:
