We are a group who support the Milton Road Library in Cambridge and want to ensure we retain it as a local library but also that it develops as a community resource.
The original library building on the corner of Ascham Road and Milton Road closed its doors on 10th November 2017, and a new library/community space is scheduled to open in a years’ time.
There is mobile provision further down Ascham Road near the school while the building work takes place. It keeps a good range of books, including many for children, with the following hours of opening:
| Monday | 10:00 — 17:00 |
|---|---|
| Tuesday | Closed |
| Thursday | 15:00 — 17:00 |
| Friday | 15:00 — 17:00 |
| Saturday | 10:00 — 15:00 |
| Sunday | Closed |
