Farnham Common Community Library

Farnham Common Community Library Farnham Common Community Library, close to the village centre, has a children's library, wifi, public

In October 2011 Farnham Common became one of the first libraries within Buckinghamshire to transition to Community Library status, where all library services are organised and run by unpaid local volunteers. The library has charitable trust status controlled by Friends of the Library with a management committee elected annually by the Friends. If you would like to contribute to the running of the

library please consider joining our team by volunteering or by making a donation to the library. We work in the same way as a County Library and books can be returned to any other library in the Buckinghamshire County system. We pride ourselves on being a valuable resource within the community. We offer a wide range of brand new fiction and non-fiction titles, PCs with internet access, free wi-fi, photocopying, laminating, magazines and newspapers as well as introductory internet access classes. We also have a wide programme of events, outings, book club and regular children's activities.

The weather was kind on Sunday for the annual Farnhams Open Gardens. We had a great turnout and everyone enjoyed the 9 beautiful gardens on show. Thanks to all the garden owners, visitors and supporters, and especially to Pat Marshall for organising another wonderful event. All funds raised will go to the Library, and we are truly grateful.
