neighborhood library
Community book lending
A neighborhood library is a small public library branch serving a local community, as distinct from a city's main or central library.
These branches provide convenient access to books and services within walking distance for residents: The neighborhood library hosts a children's reading hour on Saturdays.
The term emphasizes the library's role as a community gathering place rather than just a book repository.
