The Library

The Library and No 5 offer plenty of opportunities for families to enjoy their visit together!

Soft Play Area

Children of all ages can explore the Library at their own pace.

The littlest ones can play with our soft books, cuddly toys, or enjoy being read to.

The older children can test their treasure hunt or scavenger skills with one of our activity sheets.
