About Gosforth Library

Gosforth Library on Regent Farm Road is a free, indoor rainy day essential, particularly for younger children. Under-5s Storytime runs Tuesdays (11am) and Fridays (10:30am) during term time, and there's a free Lego Club for ages 4+ during term time too. Beyond the regular sessions, the library has books (obviously), free WiFi, meeting rooms that can be booked, and a calm space to spend a morning. It also serves as a Children & Families Hub. For remote workers, it offers completely free, quiet working space with reliable internet and no pressure to buy anything — a 4-minute walk from Regent Centre Metro.
