Brixton

Welcome to Brixton Library in the London Borough of Lambeth. When you visit the library you'll get a warm welcome from Lisa Ozalp and Maria Kwofie.  Lisa has been working as a librarian in Brixton Library for a few years and Maria is a new addition to the team.

Lisa and Maria would help and ensure that you know how to locate Brixton  Library's wide variety of resources available to you and that you are aware of and have easy access to the resources.  Lisa loves traveling and reading and Maria likes to write poems in quiet time off work.  They are excited to be involved in the Outside Story project because it increases library accessibility to include a group of people that might otherwise not use the Library.
