Hounslow Community Hubs & Libraries

As part of the ongoing work to improve the way we provide our services, Feltham Community Hub & Library will be closed today and tomorrow (16th and 17th March). If you have a class with Learn Hounslow, this will be going ahead.

Next Thursday (19th March) the team at Meadowbank will be hosting a Creative Writing Workshop - open to all - to discuss skills and to give people a chance to meet other budding writers. Pop along. The session is 1pm-3pm.

Please note that Heston Community Hub & Library is closed this week while work is started. From April you can expect to find some new furniture and equipment, improved accessibility and better spaces for support services.
