An easier way to explore Brighton & Hove Libraries

Local Shelf lets you browse the films, TV, books and audiobooks you can borrow from the city's libraries. It's a free, unofficial community project.

  • Browse like a streaming app

  • See what's on the shelf

  • Borrow from the library

Support Local Shelf

Local Shelf is a free, not-for-profit community project that makes Brighton & Hove Libraries easier to browse. If it's helped you find something, a small donation keeps it running.

Where your money goes

  • Hosting, the domain name and the nightly catalogue update.
  • Anything left over goes towards new features.

Donations don't go to Brighton & Hove Libraries or the council. To help the library itself, borrowing, joining and reserving all count.

Payments are handled securely by Ko-fi with PayPal or card. Local Shelf never sees your payment details. The form is loaded from Ko-fi and covered by Ko-fi's own privacy policy.
