The cooking book section is brilliant, i can never afford the Chelsea Winter books as they are expensive but its only 50c to check one out.

Great selection of book for all ages. Adult books cost 50c per book to take out, but kids books don't cost, plus there's no overdue fees for kids books which is great when you've got children who take out 20 books at a time! Staff are pretty good, but the computers there are easy to navigate and find what you're looking for.

I take a weekly trip to the library to rent books to read as it is so much cheaper to do than to buy them. The books are only 50c to loan and there are so many to choose from. I like to sit in the library as it is lovely and quiet and read there too.

This library has staff whom have been there for years and dedicated to their work. I found them extremely helpful when I was doing on line study, they also make a great coffee
