Computers available in this area too and a couple of desks to sit and read at (or sometimes colour in). Upstairs is the main library, with more computers (and there are computers for the adults downstairs too), served well by stairs and a lift. There are toilets on site, but you need to ask for a key.

Staff are really helpful and a couple of them have worked there for years so know everyone by name and exactly what they will be looking for. I suppose as Libraries go it is quite small but big is not always better!
