Rotherham Libraries & Neighbourhood Hubs Important Notice.

We are introducing a new Library Management System on Thursday 26 November 2026. The new system will provide a more modern platform for library services and will support the introduction of a new library app and online events module. Further information about these new services will be shared in due course.

From Friday 20 November until Thursday 26 November, some temporary measures will be in place to ensure the transition runs smoothly. During this period, Libraries & Neighbourhood Hubs will remain open as normal, but some library services will be temporarily unavailable.

Access to customer library accounts will be limited.
The online library catalogue will not be available. Customers will not be able to:
Join the library online.
Search the catalogue.
Reserve or renew items online.

There may be delays in processing and supplying titles while records are transferred to the new system.
• Notifications, including overdue reminders and reservation collection notices, will be temporarily paused for approximately three weeks.
• New stock currently on order may not appear on the catalogue for several weeks while supplier records are re-established.
• We will be unable to take payments for library services during the transition
period.

When visiting your local library during this period, customers will still be able to:
• Join the library in person.
• Use public computers (excluding printing services).
• Borrow and return books.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during this time.

🎉 Huge congratulations to our wonderful Knit and Natter Group! 🎉

We are incredibly proud that our amazing Knit and Natter group, through their support of Heart of Knitting, has been recognised with The King’s Award for Voluntary Service 2025.

Their knitting, friendship, and dedication help combat loneliness and support babies, families, and people experiencing homelessness. We are so proud that they gather here at our library every week.

Congratulations on this fantastic and well-deserved achievement! 🧶❤️👑
