Fulbourn Village Library was re-opened by volunteers in November 2003 after having been closed by the County Council in October 2003. We remained in the Old School Building until May 2009, when we moved to new premises at The Swifts, Haggis Gap.

Cambridgeshire Library Service provides us with two computers for public use and another computer which links us to the computer system operated in all of Cambridgeshire Libraries.  If you have a Cambridgeshire, Peterborough or Suffolk Library card you can borrow books from us. The computer system enables us to request books for our customers from anywhere within Cambridgeshire Libraries and you can also request books from Peterborough and Suffolk Library Services.  Within the Library Service our Library is known as a Community Managed Library (previously as a Library Access Point or LAP).

With the exception of some large print titles which are supplied by the County Council, we rely on the generosity of the community from whom we receive a steady supply of donations, both fiction and non-fiction.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic we were open for 7 sessions, totalling 14 hours per week. We are now open for 5 sessions, totalling 10 hours.  Please see our Home Page for our current opening hours. We have 2 volunteers on duty at all Library sessions. Our volunteers also sort out the donated books and get them ready for the Library by sticking in date labels & bar codes and cataloguing them. 
 
How can you help us?
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer and are 18 or over, then please visit the Library and leave your details with the volunteers on duty.

If you wish to donate books to our Library, then please bring them in during opening hours.  Please note that we require good quality, recently published books (no more than 3 years old, please) for our Library shelves. 

The most important help you can give us is by joining the Library (if you are not already a member) and by borrowing lots of books.  The Library Service monitors our success by looking at our borrowing figures. 

Library users are really pleased with our selection of books and are very grateful for all of our efforts. This makes it an extremely rewarding and worthwhile venture.

We will continue to run the Library, but we can only do it with your help.
