  • Searching the facilities

    Details are available about all 395 public libraries in London as well as all the other partner organisations included in WiLL. The information includes address and contact information, accessibility, opening times, range of facilities, special collections and links to web sites.
    To begin searching for facilities, select the second option from the Home Page or the ‘Search the Facilities’ option from the Menu panel.
    In the box labelled 'Search for' enter the words which describe what you are interested in. For example:-
    brent – list all the facilities in Brent
    sunday – list all the facilities open on Sunday
    brent urdu – list all the libraries in Brent which have collections of Urdu material
    fax havering – list all the libraries in Havering which have fax machines
    reading group – list all the libraries which have a reading group
    If you use more than one search word, you can choose whether all the words have to match, or any of the words. For example, if you type in 'cd-roms' and 'playstation' with the AND option selected, you are looking for facilities which have BOTH CD-roms AND Playstation games; if you type in 'cd-roms' and 'playstation' but select the OR option, you are looking for facilities which have EITHER CD-roms OR Playstation games.
    A search can be limited to one type of facility (such as community information or museums) by choosing from a drop down list. A search can also be limited to a particular area of London. To see a list of all entries, go to the bottom of the search screen where it says 'To see the full list of facilities, click here.'
