Idea Stores are more than just a library or a place for learning. As well as library services, they offer a wide range of adult learning courses and an extensive activities and events programme for all the family.

Idea Store Watney Market, which opened on Tuesday 14 May 2013, is based on three floors and offers a wide range of services. The £4.5 million Idea Store was jointly funded by the Big Lottery Fund and Tower Hamlets Council and includes an integrated One Stop Shop, where residents can access council services. It also provides adult, youth and children's library services complemented by a ground-floor space which hosts a range of community facilities, including advice on council and health services.

Joining your local Idea Store or library is easy and FREE. Just visit one of our Idea Stores or libraries and complete the application form for membership. You will need to provide proof of your name and address - this could be a driving licence, a medical card, a utility bill or any official communication that you have recently received.
