Customer Reviews
Cute little library tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the major arterial roads leading to Manchester. A much needed quiet space that has packed a lot in to a small but bright and welcoming space. Has a large children's section with area of play, computer spaces and really comfy chairs to while away the hours with a good book or glossy magazine. Due to the small space, books are sorted A-Z by author and are not split into separate categories. Has an accessible toilet and a smart ante-room which is decorated with photos of local history and an amazing quilt made by the local U3a group that really looks like a bookcase of books! Worth a visit if you are in the area, as you can also have a cheap cup of tea or coffee while you are there. Also offers a Knit and Natter group on Fridays 2-4pm which you can just turn up for. On the way out I noticed that the library also has special book events there from time to time.
Books & Rhymes. Took my Grandaughter to this lovely free session this morning. She absolutely loved it. The lady who ran the session worked very hard and was so enthusiastic she made sure every child was included in some way. There was lots of smiles, and participation by all the children, mums, Dads & Grandparents. Thank you so much. We'll be back next week 👍🎶x
Whilst I really like this library, there are a couple of things that need to be sorted out. The first of those is the noise levels. What happened to libraries being quiet places for reading and studying? I appreciate that small children make noise but what about the adults, staff and kids who are old enough to know better? Would someone please ask the new-age mummies to confine their toddlers to the kid's area instead of letting them run wild. Children don't know how to behave in public places unless you teach them. The other thing is the lack of non-fiction books. A better variety is required.
