Information about Camborne Library

The management of Camborne Library has been transferred to the Town Council. This is part of Cornwall Council’s Devolution Programme. This helps councils and communities take over local ownership, management and control of services. Cornwall Council continues to support the Town Council to deliver the local service. Camborne Library customers will still be members of the Cornwall Library and Information Service. They will be able to borrow from the Cornwall-wide stock of books, CD’s and DVD’s. They will also continue to have access to online newspapers, e-magazines, eBooks and computers.  The Information Service in Camborne will continue to be operated by Cornwall Council in Dolcoath.
