BURGESS ROAD LIBRARY

With the withdrawal of public funding, our local library was under threat. Christ Church is working with the Burgess Road Library Action Group and Southampton City Council to keep the doors open for the local community. 


If you're interested in getting involved in the project and maybe volunteering your help, we'd love to hear from you. You can get in touch here. 


Go to the Library website.
