Bretton Library

Bretton Library is located on the right just inside the entrance to the Cresset if you are approaching from the bus stop or health centre. If you’re coming into The Cresset from the main reception, we’re right down the other end.

Extended opening times at Bretton Library

Bretton Library are running a 3 month pilot, during which opening hours on a Monday have been extended to 6pm. Instead of closing at the usual time of 4pm, the library will remain open for a further 2 hours with the use of volunteers who will work alongside a staff member.

The pilot will end on Monday 11th June. If the project proves to be successful, Vivacity will look to extend Bretton’s hours on a permanent basis.
