Peterborough Central Library is far more than a place to borrow books — it’s a vibrant public space for learning, culture, and community connection. Located just off Broadway in the Creative Quarter, the library offers a rich programme of author talks, creative workshops, art displays, and heritage exhibitions alongside its extensive book, audio, and digital collections. Visitors can explore local history resources in the dedicated archive section, take part in reading groups, or simply enjoy a quiet space to study.

With free public Wi-Fi, computer access, and regular family activities, the library is a welcoming cultural hub for residents and visitors alike, and a key anchor in the city’s Creative Quarter.
