Very nice library, layed out very well, friendly helpful staff and a big range of books to choose from, a great toy library and easy parking which is really nice.

Love this library! Bright, airy and constantly updating their supplies. Storytime at 10am most days is great for my little ones. The do a great craft activity afterwards. Wish I had more time to read some of the great books they have! The toy library is also fantastic.

The Mt Barker Library has a fantastic Toy Library which is so cheap and easy to access. It's just $18 per year for membership and unlike some other smaller toy libraries, you are not obliged to do regular toy cleaning or other chores. The range of toys is extensive and varied and you can put toys on hold if they're out on loan. I love having "new' toys to offer my daughter each fortnight and it's lovely watching her learn to do different activities during that time period.
The rest of the library is also a fine place to spend time and relax with a book. I don't have a lot of time nowadays to read myself with a young child but in years past I've spent many hours browsing the shelves for books or reading papers or magazines.
