Call Directions Website

Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library Norfolk's flagship library, based in Norwich UK. Books, events, PCs and Wi-Fi, printing facilities, study spaces - and more. Managed by Norfolk County Council.

Home to Norfolk Heritage Centre and BIPC Norfolk. You all know you can borrow books from a library. But did you know that you can also borrow ebooks, audio books (both on CD and for your ipod/phone/tablet), DVDs and music CDs? Not only that but we have FREE internet - both via wifi and our own computer terminals! What's that, there's more? Yep! We also have two wonderful children's libraries (one for 0-7s and one for 8-12s) and a dedicated teen section too. There's ALSO a huge selection of fiction and non-fiction on the 1st floor and the stupendous Norfolk Heritage Centre and BIPC Norfolk on the 2nd floor. Incredible!

Today we celebrated 10 years of Time Travellers!

Norwich Time Travellers is a group for older people who meet fortnightly to reminisce, discover more about our local history collections and (most importantly!) have a catch up over a cuppa and a biscuit.

The group have been meeting for over a decade, and has grown to over 30 participants. During the pandemic the group switched from in-person meetings to online conference calls, making sure everyone stayed connected during a difficult time.

We even make it out of the library sometimes! Special trips include visits to Norwich Castle, the Plantation Gardens and The Puppet Theatre. Plus at Easter we roll eggs outside The Forum (don’t ask, just a tradition).

Today we celebrated the birthday with delicious homemade cake and savoury treats. Our compere without compare Chris had a ‘Number 10’ themed quiz, we looked through photos taken over the last decade, played pass the parcel, there were speeches and (genuinely hilarious) poems - it was EXTREMELY wholesome ❤️

Happy birthday Time Travellers, here’s to many more!

You may remember that Jess, one of our fantastic Library and Information Assistants, decided to use a film camera to take photos of Millennium Library staff working hard packing boxes ahead of our 1.3m refurb. And we shared those photos and people liked them.

Well, turns out Jess took more photos when we were putting books BACK on the shelves! And then she got them developed and sent them to the social media guy. And so now here they are, photos of us just before the Millennium Library reopened. We think they’re pretty neat.

Just a reminder that Pokémon Club is back at the Millennium Library TOMORROW (Saturday 5 September)!

Following a couple of trial sessions, the Millennium Library will now be running a regular club for Pokémon enthusiasts. Aimed at ages 8-16 (but younger children welcome with grown ups), come along and chat all things Pokémon. Swap cards, debate who's the best Pokémon (Charmander FYI) - and much more.

Free and drop-in, all sessions are 2-3pm in the Connect Space (on the right as you walk in the ground floor).

Next session is Saturday 5 September - sessions after that are on Saturdays 3 October, 14 November, 12 December.

The Millennium Library are delighted to announce a brand new 'Just a Cuppa' session, just for parents and carers!

The boat is back in the Early Years Library at the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, and it has a name!

When we reopened after our extensive refurbishment, we put our brand new boat into the Early Years Library. However it actually needed a new top adding, so while we had it for opening day we sent it off to be finished. And now it’s back!

On opening day BBC Radio Norfolk asked their listeners what the boat could be called, and one person (we think they were called Steve? We’ll go with Steve) suggested…Read ‘em Ferry! Which we thought was extremely clever. Because Reedham Ferry. Read ‘em. Reedham. It’s clever wordplay and we’re here for it.

So, ‘Read ‘em Ferry’ is back and ready to set sail next time you come and visit us at the Millennium Library 🫡
