About Roade Library
More than a Library: A Community Hub for All
Roade Community Library is run entirely by volunteers and exists thanks to the dedication of our community.
Together, we provide a welcoming space, essential services and activities that bring people together.

Our Story
In 2019, our library was threatened with closure. A group of volunteers came forward to save it - forming Roade Junction Community Group.
We are proud to be the first community-managed library in Northamptonshire.
Today, we continue that mission, providing a warm welcome, free access to information, learning and culture, and a space where our community can thrive.
