Oakham Library
Oakham Library has been extensively refurbished for the last 8 months, and reopened to the public on Monday 4th September 2017.
In addition to our great range of services, the library now has a dedicated area for young people, more shelf space, and lots of exciting new stock to browse. We are looking forward to welcoming the Visions Children’s Centre, which will be moving in to their purpose-built facility next door in October 2017.
