We pride ourselves on being inclusive, friendly and welcoming in our library- come and see for yourself!

15–21 June is Loneliness Awareness Week
Loneliness is something many of us experience, but don’t always talk about.
All of our libraries are safe, non-judgemental spaces and offer groups and activities where you can meet people and learn new skills - such as coffee mornings, knit and natter, reading groups and games groups to name a few.
Pop in to your local library to find out more!
