Love dropping into this library. Lots of great books, DVDs and even CDs to borrow. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Their online service is fantastic. I always look up books and DVDs and can see what's available and which local library has it. Then you can phone the library and they'll courier it across to whichever library branch is easier for your pick up, for free.

A lovely relaxed atmosphere with knowledgeable staff and great range of resources. Lovely quiet reading area overlooking the lake. There is also a cafe next to the library as part of the art gallery.
My local library which out of all libraries, I love to spend time at. It overlooks a lake in a housing estate and the full wall of windows makes it a lovely place to read for the afternoon. Even though the selection of books, magazines and dvds aren't as big as other libraries, the other branches are very close and their selection is still very good and they will willingly transfer from other libraries.
