Hackney Central Library refurbishment
Welcome to a revitalised Hackney Central Library! Thanks to central government funding, your beloved library has undergone a major refurbishment. This is the first large capital investment since it opened 22 years ago and will allow it to better serve local residents.
Last year, your valuable feedback shaped our vision for the future of Hackney Central Library. Customers of all ages told us what they liked, disliked and would improve about Hackney Central Library and we hope you can see your ideas and aspirations reflected in the designs.
The updated library boasts:
More diverse study areas maximising natural light
A convenient bookable meeting room
Improved accessibility for all
Enhanced spaces for events
Your voice has been crucial in designing a library that truly reflects our community’s needs and desires.
Hackney Central Library reopened on Monday 2 February 2026 – come along and take a look around!
