We welcome children of all ages, and their parents and carers, to our libraries. There is no age limit - even the youngest babies can have their own library ticket!

We also have a small collection of children's books in Braille, to find out more please speak to a member of staff. Our eBooks subscription gives access to over 600 titles for children and young people which can be downloaded for free.
