DetailsTEMPORARY CLOSURE
The Children's Library will be closed from 13th May for approximately two weeks in order to carry our repairs to the windows.

Explore a wide choice of stories, old and new, together with lots of picture books for younger readers. Not forgetting our DVDs. We also have excellent books to help with school projects and hobbies. Join in with our storytimes and rhymetimes, and keep an eye out for our other children’s events held throughout the year.
