In advance of the library's move to a new home in May
        As part of Hounslow Library’s move this May, the Archive and Local 
        Studies service based at the library will also be relocating.
        
        The library, currently based in the Treaty Centre, will close from 5pm 
        on Friday 12 May and will re-open on Thursday 18 May, at its new temporary 
        home at the Civic Centre in Lampton Road.
        
        The Archive and Local Studies service will re-open at Feltham Library 
        at the beginning of June. It will stop taking public enquiries from Monday 
        8 May so that items can be packed away in preparation for the move.
        
        The Archive and Local Studies collection [west of the borough] and part 
        of the Thomas Layton special collection will also move to Feltham Library. 
        The rest of the Thomas Layton special collection will be stored temporarily 
        in high grade out-of-borough storage until further space is found to house 
        the full collection.
        
        The Archive service will otherwise continue to operate normally with availability 
        by appointment.
        Any adjustments to the opening hours of the Archive/Local Studies service 
        at Chiswick Library will remain unchanged. [Two days a week and alternative 
        Saturdays].
During the temporary week-long closure while Hounslow Library moves, residents 
        can continue to use the other libraries nearby:
        Heston Library – New Heston Road, TW5 0LW. T: 020 8898 0256
        Osterley Library – St Mary’s Crescent, TW7 4NB T: 020 8560 
        4295
        Isleworth Library – Twickenham Road, TW7 7EU T: 020 8560 2934
        
        Residents may also renew items online by visiting www.hounslowlibraries.org 
        or contacting their local library by telephone.
        Following the move of Hounslow Library, opening hours and services will 
        remain unchanged.
