About Newnham Community Library

Tuesday afternoon showers have a way of sending families scurrying for indoor activities, and this little library proves a proper lifesaver when camping near the Forest of Dean. Located in the heart of Newnham village, about ten miles southwest of Gloucester, it's the sort of place that reminds you why community libraries matter.

The building itself won't win any architectural prizes, but inside you'll find a surprisingly good selection of books, computers for checking emails, and crucially, free WiFi that actually works. Local history buffs will appreciate the Gloucestershire collection, while parents with restless children can browse the decent kids' section. The staff know their regulars and don't mind helping visitors find what they need.

Families staying at nearby sites like Passage Farm or West End Farm will find it particularly handy - especially those with teenagers who've forgotten their phone chargers and need internet access. Opening hours are limited (mornings on Monday and Saturday, afternoons Monday and Thursday), so check before making the trip.

It's not exactly a tourist attraction, but for campers dealing with dodgy campsite WiFi or needing somewhere dry to kill an hour, it does the job nicely. Plus, borrowing a good book for evening reading by the campfire costs nothing at all.
