Office hours:
We open every day from 09:00am to 15:30pm

If you enjoy playing Mah Jong or would like to learn whilst meeting new people, drop-in to our friendly group. We recommend you ring the library first to check the club is running that week.

Make ‘N’ Play is an art and messy play group for young children and their parents/carers.
Our sessions are an hour long, where your child will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of play.
Children can explore messy play, sensory play and simple art & craft activities, finishing with a short singing time, a drink and a biscuit!

Mainly aimed at under 5 year olds, but we will also be running through the school holidays and older siblings are very welcome.

All libraries in Portsmouth offer a range of books and resources for adults, carers and children that aim to help you improve your health and wellbeing. All our libraries have Wellbeing Zones where you can browse up to date books and leaflets on any aspect of mental and physical health. Our staff are also happy to signpost you to local services that can help you manage your own health.

The Portsmouth Deaf Centre was set up to provide a place where Deaf people can meet on both a social and educational basis. Other members of the local community are encouraged to participate in the facilities that are offered by the Centre. The centre also hosts a monthly carers support group for people caring for a family member or friend who has dementia.
