Visited this library for the first time today and it was fab. Great things in place for covid protection such as track and trace, book quarantine and lots of sanitiser around. I needed to register myself and my daughter and the lady who did it for us was great and really helpful. Can't wait for out next visit.
So happy to use the library again. Plenty of safety measures in place, self scan, hand sanitiser everywhere. Well done Pork Pie library
Best library ever! They never cease to amaze me! If you are looking for a close and easy source of reading material to read and borrow, this is the best place to go!
I love the library, l use to use it all the while, but then l became housebound, just phoned and asked if my son could pick some books for me, .They said yes, how good is that for service. ItsI a good place for peace and quite while you work on computers as well. If you need help they are there for you. Brilliant!
The Pork Pie library was built in 1939. It is a Grade II listed building, which was originally designed by local architects Symington Prince and Pyke, it bears a striking resemblance to the St Barnabas Road library in Leicester. Both buildings were thought to have been influenced by the Central Library in Stockholm and Arnos Green Tube Station in London.
My memories of it stem from living nearby, down the Wigston Lane and walking up the hill to borrow and return books in the 1950’s.
