The Society Library & Resource Centre is located at Summerhouse Drive, Joydens Wood Estate, Bexley, DA5 2EE - on the corner of Eden Road, marked in red on the map. There is no car park but parking is available in the road. Bus information - to be added.
Opening hours are every Wednesday, 10am-4pm. Refreshments are available, there are toilets in the building, and as we're on the ground floor wheelchair access is no problem.
We have our own room, separate from the main library, where our complete collection of books and other reference material is now available on open shelves. This includes microfiche, data CD's and a set of tapes from the Tape Library. Much of this material is available for loan to members. The Society Librarian is Janet Rose (left).
We have computers with internet access, this includes Ancestry and other on-line genealogical databases. We're working on re-establishing our email link.
Non-members are welcome to visit.

The library was at Hextable Heritage Centre for eight years. It moved in April 2009 to the current location and the official opening was held jointly by Kent County Council and our Society on 24 June 2009. There were representatives from KCC present, also Lady Mary Teviot (FFHS President) and Jean Stirk (NWK President), as well as members of the Society committee and representatives from the Branches.
