Libraries Opening Hours Consultation
It is a large, busy library in the centre of the town on Granby Street, opposite Queen's Park. There is a ramp at the front of the building and the main part of the library is on one level, with a ramp or steps up to the children's area.
The local studies library is on another floor and is only accessible by stairs.  The library has wide aisles and disabled parking space is available in the nearby town car park.
