Welcome to LibrariesWest

LibrariesWest is a partnership between Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset and South Gloucestershire public library services.

Public internet access is currently unavailable at all of Somerset's libraries. Work is continuing to restore the service, and updates are being made available on the Somerset County Council web site. Public internet access in the other LibrariesWest authorities is unaffected.

Bristol Libraries have recently launched the Clipper e-audio book download service, which can be accessed by logging in here. For licensing reasons, this service is only currently available to members registered with Bristol Libraries.

If you have borrowed items from a library in Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset or South Gloucestershire, and we have a record of your email address, we will send you a reminder by email 2 days before your items are due for return.
