Public Engagement - Penge Library Children's Survey (Ages 0 to 16)

Introduction

Survey Closing Date: 27th May 2026

Penge Library is moving into a new space a short walk away at the Kentwood Centre building.

We need your help with this. Please tell us how you use the library and what you think would make it better.

What will the new library be like?

The relocated Penge Library will be a vibrant and flexible space for everyone in the community. As well as the books and activities we have now, the new library will also allow you access to new shared café and break-out spaces and will be located next to a youth centre.
