Library Information

Our Community Library is a welcoming, volunteer-led space that supports reading, learning and community connection for residents of all ages.

Our library exists to protect access to books and learning within the community, providing a friendly and inclusive environment where everyone is welcome.

What We Offer

• Borrow and reserve books for all ages
• Children’s reading and early years books
• Adult fiction and non-fiction collections
• A quiet reading and study space
• Family-friendly reading areas
• Access to online services and digital information
• A safe, welcoming space to meet and connect with others

Community-Led and Volunteer-Run

Our library is proudly run by local volunteers, helping to protect this vital service for future generations. Volunteers play a key role in supporting daily opening, assisting visitors and delivering activities.

Who Can Use the Library?

Everyone is welcome — including:

• Children and young people
• Parents, grandparents and carers
• Adults and older residents
• Local schools, childminders and community groups

No membership fees — just a friendly welcome and access to books and activities in the heart of the community.

Why Our Library Matters

Libraries are about more than books. They:

• Support literacy and early years development
• Improve wellbeing and reduce isolation
• Provide safe, inclusive community spaces
• Encourage lifelong learning
• Strengthen community connection

Our library plays an important role in keeping these benefits available locally.
