We are a non-political community campaign fighting to save the last local service in Preston, Brent.
The library was closed in 2011, along with 5 other Brent libraries.
Preston Community Library is a charity dedicated to re-instating this vital community resource as a volunteer-run facility.
In May 2014, Brent Council promised to hand over the Preston Library property to Preston Community Library “in perpetuity” and “at a peppercorn rent”.
From April 2015, we have opened our community library and hub with books, papers and classes.
To keep going and increase our hours, we still need your help and input.
