New Cross Learning (formerly known as the New Cross People’s Library) is a community-run space offering a library service and a bookshop as well as a wide range of learning activities, supported by registered charity Bold Vision. Among our major donors is the New Cross Gate Trust. NXL is wholly volunteer-run.
What do we do?
New Cross Learning provides free computer/internet use, Wifi, newspapers and magazines. NXL has desk spaces to work, and we also run learning activities and workshops, including writing and knitting workshops. We also run a lending library of over 5,000 books (supported by Lewisham Council).
This year sees the return of evening film showings now that we have a volunteer ready to programme and circulate the events. Spoken word and writers’ groups are using NXL as a venue. NXL is becoming a venue that puts community learning and sharing on the map.
Very friendly and helpful staff. I needed to print something so I walked straight in and was confused about what to do, but they were very willing to help. Very quiet inside as well. Highly recommended!
I always come here to buy books from the second hand book sale. You pay what you want for the books and there's always a great range. Very friendly staff too.
