Launceston Library and Information Service
Launceston Library and Information Service is managed by Launceston Town Council, supported by Cornwall Council.
Due to the current lock down restrictions Launceston Library will be closed until further notice.
Launceston Library will continue to waive any overdue charges until further notice.
Many of Cornwall’s Libraries will be open during this current lock down by welcoming you at the door with a click and collect service. Order your books online, then go to your nominated library to collect them from the lobby or entrance. You can also return items as well. Regular library activities such as story-time sessions will have to wait until we can fully reopen. Please keep an eye on our social media posts and publicity.
Please note that not all services and facilities are available. Some libraries are able to offer 30 minutes of computer access for essential use during the lockdown. Please check with your local library before making a special journey.
All online services continue. These include:
Those who use the Information Service for payments and council enquiries should continue to use:

- online options
- telephone options
The Information Service remains closed. The click and collect service is only for library books.
