Our Children’s Library is a colourful and lively centre with a notice board for children’s local events and services, display boards for art from local schools, and a colouring table with crayons for small children. There are toys, a cosy corner and a collection of magazines and comics. We provide tables for study and various information leaflets and booklets for parents and carers.

What our members say
"Waggle and Hum reintroduced me and my family to using a library. Now we visit once a week at least and my daughter enjoys reading books. It was also very good for me to learn the nursery rhymes again and meet other mothers and babies. We have made friends for life."

"This is a splendid library - no matter how many times I bring my children, there are always more beautiful books than we have sufficient tickets to take out. We all love coming here. The staff are fabulous - they couldn't be more helpful and the events are great too. We are very grateful for this splendid library! The Children's Librarian in particular is always very kind to my children."
