Donate to Hertfordshire Libraries

It’s now easy to donate online to the library service by visiting our website. We are often offered donations of money by users who wish to show their appreciation for the service. Those who visit the library are able to do this in person. Now you can also support the library service by donating online. Hertfordshire Libraries are a universal and free service to the community. Your decision to donate is an entirely voluntary one. We ask that you donate only as much as you feel comfortable with. You may want to consider either a one-off payment or more frequently.

100% of each donation goes directly to Hertfordshire Libraries and is used to maintain and enhance our services. https://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/librarydonations

⏪🤩 to when Borehamwood was the Hollywood of Hertfordshire! This picture dates back to when King George V and Queen Mary made an official visit to the site of the studios in town, in 1934.

The iconic studios were once referred to by a certain Charlie Chaplin as the home of the British Film industry 🎥🍿

We wonder if anyone has any interesting anecdotes from time spent working at the studios or visiting? Any run-ins with famous movie stars?

Find out more of Borehamwood's past with our ✨Local History✨ section on the top floor; and don't forget that you can post your own photographs to our page which we will be happy to share with our followers! Our Upper Floors open today at 12.
