Special collections have been developed at all of our four libraries that specifically cater for the young adults. These collections are separate from the adult and junior collections and includes novels, non-fiction, graphic novels and audio-visual material.
Online magazine
Why not also check out Good Reading for Young Adults - an online magazine focusing on books and reading. It is full of writing, artwork, poetry, book reviews, films, music and so much more.
Study space
There are study spaces in all shapes and sizes at each of our libraries. There are areas for group study and areas for individual study. There is no need to book a space, just come along and set yourself up. During end-of-year exam periods some of the libraries will offer a tea and coffee station and space for you to study, just check it out when you are in.
Computers
Public access computers are available at all of the libraries and each library has free WiFi.
Gaming
At all branches there are various gaming stations for use in the library: PS4 Games, Nintendo Classic and Nintendo Switch, X-Box and some VR gear can be used, just ask at the library.
