An excellent small library that prides itself on knowing the regulars and being an asset to the…read morecommunity. We take the baby to 'rhyme time' every Wednesday at 10:30 and he loves it! Not tons of books, but the people in charge are lovely and friendly. If there's a title you're after and they don't have it, they'll order it in for you, and it will be there within a couple of days which is a really nice surprise next time you pop in. The childrens section has a nice comfy chair where you can sit and read with your kids - it's great.

Another excellent local library, that has brilliant, friendly staff. It's bigger than Laira…read morelibrary, and does a great rhyme time for the kids at 10:30 every Friday. The rhyme time gets completely ram packed, so it's easier to go to another one (Laira is very underused). There are lots of new books, and the building is bright and tidy. The library caters really well for young and old alike - along with the rhyme time, there's a wide selection of large print books. Whilst the stock is fairly small, they're happy to order books from other branches for you, and do so for free (which is great).

We LOVE this library! Non locals hardly know it's here, housed as it is next door to Hope Baptist…read moreChurch. But it's everything a small local library should be: warm,friendly,accessible and with lovely events which hook kids into books. We lived in the adjacent road for years and our two children loved coming here. It's especially a great place for lonely elderly people and frazzled young Mums-the library brings company and calm in equal measure. This has gone down as one of the best places in our family memories.
