I really enjoy visiting this library. It has a friendly atmosphere , the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The choice of books is constantly changing so even though I visit a lot I always find a couple of good reads to take away. This library is a fundamental part of the community.

Brilliant morning spent at the Acomb library! Our daughter is starting school this autumn, so we decided to register her at the library. I wish we would have done it sooner! Saturday morning, the library was buzzing with families, lots of kids choosing books, playing in the garden, parents having a drink in the small coffee shop, and an overall really welcoming place. They had a small room where kids came together to play pokemon and later on lego. We borrowed some books, played some Lego had a coffee and cake. We will be definitely back for more weekend mornings. Heads-up for the team for being super helpful in the library and coffee shop alike. Bonus point that a library has its own cat who is randomly strolling up and down and walks around to say hi for all visitors!
