Always have very friendly staff who are willing to help you find what books or authors you are looking for. Or if out order them for you. Also great photocopying service.

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.

The library is really good for cheap books. They are only $1 to rent and you can always reissue them over the internet which is great. Such a good system - very happy with it.

Good selection of books. I tend to get out at least 2-3 books a week and it only cost 50c per book which is great.

Their school holiday programmes are a wonderful way to entertain the kids during the holidays. The kids especially love the movies nights usually held on a Wed night.
