Warm Welcome - our cost of living campaign

We know how difficult this winter will be with the rising cost of living. Suffolk Libraries is here to help anyone who needs support, with no judgement or stigma.

Our libraries have always provided safe, warm spaces for anyone to come and spend time in or find support and resources. This winter, as part of the national Warm Spaces campaign, we’ll be bringing in new initiatives to help people stay warm, stay safe and stay connected.

How Suffolk Libraries can help

Anyone is welcome to visit our libraries to find help and support. Our libraries have always been warm spaces where you can come and relax with no expectation to spend money or join in with activities. Our staff are always available if you need to speak to someone and be signposted to other resources.

Our libraries offer free WiFi and computer access, free period products, free events and activities for all ages, and free books, including our extensive eLibrary services. During these cold months, you can also visit the library to:

• Enjoy a free hot drink
• Pick up some warm clothes
• Charge your devices
• Collect free essential items

Different services will be available at different libraries depending on space and staff capacity. We advise you to contact your local library to see what support will be available to you.
