Libraries

We are delighted to welcome you back into our libraries.

When you visit one of our libraries there will be a few changes since you last popped by. These include being open only when volunteers are available and measures to keep you and our volunteers safe, which include keeping a safe distance, limiting numbers and wearing face coverings.

At Spilsby and Holbeach Libraries computer use is available for one hour per day (pre-bookable). Browsing is available at all libraries and the numbers of visitors allowed in will be displayed at each site. The self-service machine will be in use for you to borrow and return use – at Waddington Library this is available when volunteers aren’t available.

Our libraries will also be open during reduced hours, find your local library hours below:

One way Lincolnshire Co-op supports the community is to run vital services.

As well as the well-known outlets like food stores, pharmacies and post offices the Society also runs three libraries.

All of the libraries are supported by teams of dedicated volunteers from the local area.

One library is in Bar Lane, Waddington, and shares the site with a Lincolnshire Co-op pharmacy and post office. Another is inside Lincolnshire Co-op's Spilsby Food Store on Post Office Lane.

The Society also supports Holbeach Library, which is on Fleet Street and shares space with our pharmacy and post office.

Facilities at the libraries include self-service machines, People's Network computers, dedicated helplines linking to Lincolnshire County Council's customer services team and thousands of books, including fiction, non-fiction, children's and large print titles.
