It has a wide range of fiction and non fiction books, for reference, and pleasure reading. There is an excellent children's library with soft comfortable seating, and a superb selection of books for all ages. During the summer holidays, there are often challenges run which encourage children to read 6 books and then get a certificate etc. CDs, DVDs and console games are available to rent for a small charge, and there is a quick drop off point for those that just want to drop in their books without renewing or paying a fine for being late! Internet access is available to all, within guidelines, upon application to the main desk. This is an excellent facility that is well used by the people of Norwich.

It has a reasonable stock of books, and a small amount of CD's, DVD's and computer games. It also has a computer you can use for internet access. One of the best things about the library is that you can reserve items on line from any Norfolk library, and they deliver it to Taverham library for you to pick up a few days later. (there is a small charge for this service) There is a car park next to the library you can use free of charge. By the end of 2008 the library should have had some self service machines installed. It is not open all day, every day, so best to check on the Norfolk County Council website to check it'll be open when you get there!
