Farnham Common Community Library

Farnham Common Community Library Farnham Common Community Library, close to the village centre, has a children's library, wifi, public

In October 2011 Farnham Common became one of the first libraries within Buckinghamshire to transition to Community Library status, where all library services are organised and run by unpaid local volunteers. The library has charitable trust status controlled by Friends of the Library with a management committee elected annually by the Friends. If you would like to contribute to the running of the

library please consider joining our team by volunteering or by making a donation to the library. We work in the same way as a County Library and books can be returned to any other library in the Buckinghamshire County system. We pride ourselves on being a valuable resource within the community. We offer a wide range of brand new fiction and non-fiction titles, PCs with internet access, free wi-fi, photocopying, laminating, magazines and newspapers as well as introductory internet access classes. We also have a wide programme of events, outings, book club and regular children's activities.

Thank You – Together We Raised £310 for the Berkshire Multiple Sclerosis Centre!
What a fantastic morning at Farnham Common Community Library. Our community once again showed its generosity and spirit, helping us raise £310 in support of the Berkshire Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre.

From the delicious homemade cakes to the lively conversations around the tables, the library was filled with warmth, kindness, and connection. Every slice, every cuppa, and every donation helped make a real difference for a charity that provides vital support to people living with MS.

A huge thank‑you to everyone who baked, helped, organised, or simply came along to enjoy the morning. Your support means so much.

Community at its best — right here in Farnham Common.
