The Council maintains a wide range of books and printed materials from its network of libraries. It promotes ease of access to library facilities by providing static and mobile library service points throughout the borough and a number of special services such as housebound deliveries and hospital loans for people unable to access traditional provision and talking books.

The Council provides a free reference library facility for help with general information enquiries or more specialist business, government or European enquiries. Based at the Central Library, there is also an extensive local and family history collection, with support on hand to help you use our resources.

The Sound Gallery is the largest audio visual library in the borough, lending a wide range of CDs, DVDs and videos. CDs are also available for loan from a number of other libraries, and childrens DVDs from Leam Lane Library.

The Council also provides free computer access from all its libraries, including free access to high speed internet connections, to Word, Access and Excel programmes, and to scanners with photo editing packages.
