Libraries
Our libraries offer a range of services, including access to hundreds of council services online.
The suspension of fines for overdue library loans will end on 2 April 2023. Any items on loan after that date and not returned or renewed by their return date will be liable for a fine. Overdue charges will be charged on all new loans after this date also. For more information contact any of our libraries.
We have 17 libraries as well as a delivery service for customers who are unable to access their local library. We also have a number of digital services available to our members.
