Welcome to Nottingham 

Public libraries are the ideal place to find help and information about local services, and to borrow books and use computers. Libraries are safe places where you will find kind and caring staff on hand to help you.

Libraries also offer online services which can be accessed from computers or mobile devices, away from the library building.

Вітаємо у Ноттінгемі

Публічні бібліотеки є ідеальним місцем, де можна знайти допомогу та інформацію про місцеві послуги, а також позичити книги та користуватися комп’ютерами. Бібліотеки – це безпечні місця, де ви знайдете доброзичливий персонал, який допоможе вам.

Бібліотеки також пропонують онлайн-послуги, доступ до яких можна отримати з комп’ютерів або мобільних пристроїв поза бібліотекою.
