multilingual LIBRARY

We run a Multilingual Library where we have over 135 languages and dialects and around 20,500 books. We were closed for two and a half years following the end of our tenancy in Eldon Garden. In that time we considered 15 different locations and viewed 9 of them. The last 3 all looked like possibilities, two of which fell through. We opened again on 1 August 2023 at our new location in Gateshead, opposite the register office of the Civic Centre. The building is the former Gloucester pub,  High West Street, Gateshead NE8 1EJ. or find Kittiwake Trust Multilingual Library  on Google maps.

 

As an independent library we charge an annual membership fee of £5 – free for refugees, asylum applicants and NHS workers.

Our Multilingual Library was the first in the North East to be awarded the title of Library of Sanctuary.
