Faringdon Library is getting an upgrade in early 2022! We would like to ask you to suggest what services you would like to see in your library.

Family Fortunes
Special home access to Ancestry courtesy of the publisher ends on 31 December, but Ancestry continues to be available in all Oxfordshire Libraries and we have been delighted to welcome many of you back to use it on our computers and hear your family stories.
 
The 1921 Census release from FindMyPast is coming! The launch for libraries will be slightly later, so free library access means a little more patience, but after 100 years that’s not bad!
