Friends of the Library
Since 2017 Whickham Library has been operated by volunteers. Everyone in the library is unpaid, giving their time and effort to keep the library open. As a charity, we rely on the community's help and financial support. Gateshead Council provide books and tech support, but the library pays all the bills to keep the doors open.
We are dedicated to providing, maintaining and enhancing a quality library service and resources for our community, ensuring a safe and inclusive space for all who visit.
We aim to continue to grow the library as a community hub, developing our services to meet our community's needs.
Become a Friend, make regular donations, and help us keep this valuable space open.
For information about becoming a Friend, contact us at: whickhamlibrary@gateshead.gov.uk
