A well run local library run by the community. Plenty of events going on each week. Something for most interests. A busy and lively library doing a great job for the community. Tea and and coffee available. Also a computer suit. Usually a small book sale at 50 p a book. Also Read to Write an excellent poetry group.

Friendly helpful staff obviously giving their free time to volunteer to keep an essential service open. First public toilets close down then libraries are almost closed. What next? Volunteers running the housing department. Shame on the council.
