Books in other languages
Kensington and Chelsea libraries provides books in many languages other than English. Five of our libraries have library books in a number of languages. See the list below to see which of our libraries has which language books.
If your local library doesn’t stock books in the language you require, they can usually be obtained, on request, from another branch. A small collection is less than 50 titles. A medium collection is between 50 and 100 titles and a large collection is more than 100 titles.
