This is a fabulous little library ran by a wonderful volunteers who are extremely helpful and very kind. I have three children who all love it here and thoroughly enjoy the ability to lend books from a local library as well as spend time there. The library runs regular events, including story times and reading challenges. It’s a brilliant resource for the local community

Had a lovely couple of hours walking in the grounds and admiring the stunning Bedale Hall. Now the town’s library and museum. Volunteers doing a fabulous job despite years of austerity and cutbacks. Will certainly be visiting again.
