Welcome To Dudley Libraries Online

Dudley Public Library Service is committed to providing a service which is open and accessible to all.

We have libraries spread across the Borough, a home library service for residents unable to get to a library for themselves, as well as a Local History and Archives service.

The About the Library page will tell you more about the range of services we offer.

Review of the Month

Our review for this month is for "Restless" written by William Boyd, submitted by one of our library users.

"An excellent spy thriller. The storyline follows two threads, one during WW2 and the other in the 1970s, and gradually the links between the two become closer. Characterisation is vivid, and the twists and turns of the plot are enthralling. Read this when you know you won't be interrupted!".

The Learning Revolution

The Learning Revolution Festival was launched across the UK in October 2009. As part of the festival there will be a number of learning events which are funded by the government’s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and co-ordinated across the region by the West Midlands Council’s Adult Learning Services.

The West Midland’s e-bulletin is updated regularly and includes information about learning activities and events from each of the local councils in the region
