      I have lots of fond memories of going with my mother to this library as a child there was always something on and the shelves in the kids section kept me entertained for ours, now I go there to study, its a pleasant place lots of space and easy to concentrate

      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.
