This is the main library in the borough of Waltham Forest.
Originally this was a Carnegie library built about 1906. It nearly burned down in 1982, with the loss of the Russian collection, but survived nonetheless. It underwent a refurbishment reputed to have cost £3.5million in 2006-2007, blending elements of the old Edwardian edifice with architecture which would do credit to the Mall which faces it across the Town Square. Unfortunately a large chunk of books were disposed of during the redevelopment process (Council admits it destroyed books). There was a second minor fire in 2008.
Opening hours
The library is open:
* Monday, 10am-8pm * Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9.30am-8pm * Wednesday, 9.30am-6pm * Saturday, 9.30am-5pm * Sunday, Adult Library, Children's Library and Audio Visual Library 12noon-4pm (Reference Library is unavailable)
