A computerised system for returns and…read moreloans of books now operates which scans the books and displays the information on a large, easy to read screen which you touch to navigate through the options. This leaves the staff free to deal with customers and means that returning books is very quick and easy. Reading schemes operate for young children where they are rewarded with a free DVD for each 10 times they come into the library and retell a book they have read to a member of staff. The staff are always keen to see the children. Computers are also available on a booking system but this is usually a 'book it and come back later' particularly in school holidays or after school close for the day.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Bedtime story reading and Bounce and Rhyme for babies. Lots of information leaflets and displays in the foyer. Can also borrow CDs and DVDs. If something isn't in stock it can be reserved and this is free if the reservation is made on a children's ticket. Has recently become automated which is a shame because it reduces interaction with the very pleasant staff. Everyone should be a member of a library!

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.

They offer children's activities in the school holidays but these need to be booked as they are very popular. The library also stocks CDs and DVDs. It has lots of information about local events.

Books that are 'in the stack' can be ordered and collected when taken out of storage a few hours later. As with all libraries, there's a sense of 'shhh' in this one. There are always a selection of old stock for sale, which is interesting to peruse, and I have picked up a few good autobiographies here. All in all, it's not as friendly as the smaller local branches, but has way more selection to choose from.

But the staff are very friendly and ask if they can help you find something - they seem approachable which means alot.
