Thimblemill Library is located in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell. It was built in 1937 and designed by Roland Fletcher and Chester Monk.[1]

The 2003 listing by English Heritage describes the building as Warley Branch Library, Smethwick. It is a Grade II listed building built in brick in the Moderne style.[1]

The building, on Beakes Road, was renovated and extended in 2008. It offers a modern range of digital services and community space.[2]

It is named after a nearby former watermill called the Thimble Mill.
