Highfield Library and Sharrow Family Hub

Fantastic library, great to see this lovely Victorian building thriving with so many services being offered under one roof in a great location. Thank you to all the great staff working there - keep up the good work!

really friendly staff and great environment

We had a fantastic experience of the collection service during covid restrictions. I called to ask for a selection of age specific books helping our toddler with phonetics. I was very impressed with the selection offered and how much I was listened to to help find the appropriate books for our daughter. Excellent service, thank you

Nice place for family, lots of books, toys and activity. The space upstairs is huge and bright with sunlight from big windows! I love it.

I found the midwifery service upstairs far more difficult to access than expected solely because the receptionist wouldn't let me through to see the midwife without abandoning my pushchair near the stairs. I was nine months pregnant with a one year old in tow. It also meant the pushchair was unattended and out of sight. I was the only person using the midwifery service at the time so it was hardly necessary to make me abandon the pushchair and there was ample space in the centre to maintain a clutter-free corridor. This has really deterred me from using this service even though midwives who come to the house have done their best to persuade me that going there is better than waiting in all day. I now have a double pushchair, a one week old and a one year old. Will I go again? No!
