The cold winter weather makes for perfect reading conditions, so come in and stock up on books, magazines and DVDs to curl up with at home with a range of great new titles to choose from. If you have items at home that were due back during the library closure, return them anytime during July to enjoy an Amnesty on all over due loans. This means no overdue fees
If you’re time poor and on the go, check out the brand new Quick Pick collection, located near the library entrance. Quick Picks allow you to select from the latest fiction and non fiction within seconds. You can even check out your loans using the brand new self serve checkout.
There are lots of great areas for study, public computers and wifi access, as well as lots of great reading nooks taking advantage of the natural light from the brand new front windows.
