Excellent library, staff are so helpful and everything is well organised and clear. Free ordering service and a loyalty card to earn free DVD and CD rentals. Well stocked with latest DVDs and also a very good graphic novel collection.

Closed for lockdown but no overdue fees and you can click and collect( personally I don't really know how to do that fir kids stuff but usually choose at random from an excellent children's library

Such a lovely, welcoming place with kids, teens, elderly people....my daughter and I spent a lovely hour browsing here. The staff were so sweet and helpful. We had just been sort-of turned away by nearby fashionable restaurant Morito so to be welcomed on a rainy day and treated with care and kindness felt like the best kind of public service.

People who work in libraries and who deal with people from all walks of life, a place of refuge and for community to come together- these people are heroes! This library is the kind of place that provides deep kind nourishment...and no matter how privileged or insulated we feel we may be, we all, at some point (like we felt at Morito,) feel excluded, and this place made me and my child feel included. Thank you sweet and lovely Finsbury Library, you helped soothe a difficult day for two very grateful customers :) What you do is amazing - you 'hold' a place for everyone in the community.

Lovely little library. I had to use the workspace for a few of hours and the staff were incredibly helpful. The library is well kept and it has a good vibe. A hidden gem in the heart of London. Would definitely recommend.

It is open to the public but less services at the moment. I like this library and the staff are friendly including the security guard. It is not in full operation yet.
