 Your local public library is a great place where you can borrow many different types of items, free of charge, to inspire and delight your children and encourage them into the world of reading for pleasure.

Library staff are trained to assist parents and carers with services which offer advice to develop literacy skills and recommend the latest, greatest reads.
