During your visit

You are welcome to use the Story Steps and other spaces to read and share stories. These areas are not bookable and will need to be shared with others.

Take note of fire exits in case the alarm is raised during your visit. Library staff can be identified by the blue waistcoat or fleece they wear. Follow their instructions if there is an evacuation, or as requested during the visit.

Library staff will be available to answer any questions but your group may not be the only visitors who need our help. You may be sharing space with families who have babies and toddlers with them.

We ask that your group respect other library users by keeping loud noise to a minimum, not running, and making sure everyone can access the books they want to use easily. Misbehaviour will be reported to the group’s supervisor and head of service by library staff.

You can take photographs of your group in the library. If you would like to share images and tell us about your visit, then we may add them on our Facebook page.

You are responsible for ensuring photograph permission forms are up to date for your group. Please respect other customers and their privacy.

Once your group has visited, you and your families are welcome to come see us again, or visit your local community library.
