Big library and you can also buy old books for cheap

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.

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.
