Audio books are available for loan at a cost of £1.00 for 3 weeks.

DVDs for adults are available for one week's loan at a cost of £2.75.

We have free Internet access on the three People's Network Terminals available for public use, they offer a wide range of facilities, including word processing. There is a booking system in operation for the computers.

The attractive Junior library is well stocked with board books for babies and picture books and story books for older children. Non-fiction books are available to help with school projects and homework. A computer terminal is available from 3.30-4.15 pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, for children to use for homework.

Children's DVDs can be loaned for a period of one week for a charge of £1.50 or £2..75 per week.
