Taking 19th century London as a theme, four authors (two fiction and two non-fiction) will discuss their different approaches to research and presentation on the subject matter. On the panel will be Lynda Nead, author of Victorian Babylon: People, Streets and Images in Nineteenth-Century London (2000), Sarah Wise, author of The Blackest Streets: The Life and Death of a Victorian Slum, Lee Jackson, author of three historical thrillers as well as a huge, illustrated book on Victorian London, and Barbara Ewing author of several historical novels set in 19th century London. Reading London in Fiction and Fact takes place on 11th October 2008 at the Westminster City Archives. Readings will be followed by a panel discussion and an audience Q&A.

The four month refurbishment has transformed the library’s layout and created 80% more space for studying, training opportunities and newspaper reading. Customers now have access to improved stock displays, better lighting and an all-round more welcoming atmosphere. The children’s area has been expanded to approximately double the size with the option to partition the area to reduce noise levels and now also features a reading corner. The teen population of St. John’s Wood has also benefited from the revamp through the provision of a designated area where young people can do their homework and access the internet. St John’s Wood now boasts a self service facility allowing customers to borrow, return and renew books and pay for reservations - all without the aid of library staff. A new staircase and lift have also been installed and the library is fully accessible to disabled visitors. With the introduction of these new high-tech machines aiding a speedier service, staff members will be freed from counter duties and able to spend more time helping customers on the library floor. As part of the neighbourhoods ward budget scheme, St John’s Wood was awarded £3000 towards offering special IT tuition for Westminster’s Silver Surfers. In addition, a further nine computers have been installed and these new IT facilities mean one-to-one internet training sessions will be readily available to residents of all ages. To find out more about the facilities available at St John’s Wood Library, please call 020 7641 1300 or visit www.westminster.gov.uk/libraries Back to Top Back to Top Charing Cross Library Celebrates 60th birthday with a Makeover Westminster’s historic Charing Cross Library reopened its doors to the public on 30th June 2008 following a major £200,000 refurbishment which included the installation of new self service machines. The eight-week revamp fully transformed the existing layout of Charing Cross Library, creating a spacious and user friendly environment. New shelving, bookcases and furniture have been installed along with a bigger computer area and nine internet-ready computers. The first floor also boasts a seated lounge for visitors to relax and read. Located on the edge of Westminster’s busy China Town, around 70% of the library’s books are borrowed by Chinese visitors and the library has several Mandarin and Cantonese speaking staff to cater for these customers. Charing Cross Road has long been home to London’s book trade, with a wide range of new and second-hand book shops; Charing Cross library offers a purpose built bookshop area with a wide range of withdrawn surplus library books on sale at discount prices.
