Shoe Lane Library
Barbican & Community Libraries are the public library service operated by the City of London, offering an array of items for loan as well as a variety of engaging events for residents, workers, and visitors alike.
Shoe Lane Library, where Dragon Café in the City is based, is one of the five libraries managed by the City of London Corporation and has built a great reputation for its engagement of City workers and residents through talks, play provision and events. Located within walking distance of St. Paul's Cathedral, Shoe Lane Library has earned its standing as the sanctuary in the heart of the City, providing a comfortable space for its users as well as a comprehensive offering of books, CDs, DVDs and maps. The children's section is especially popular, with a colourful corner of the library devoted to the City's youngest residents and visitors.
