The library is in the Ropery, opposite the short-stay car park and the Co-op supermarket. A bus stop is outside the library, served by the number 128 bus and the local Town Bus service. Coastliner buses stop in Eastgate which is an eight minute walk from the library.
No car parking spaces are available at the library itself, but there is a paying short-stay (two hours) car park opposite the library. Long-stay parking is available in the town and is clearly sign posted.
The library has automatic doors and all areas are accessible to wheelchairs. There is also a lift to the meeting rooms on the second floor.
You can borrow a range of books for all ages in a variety of formats, including large print and audio. DVDs and foreign language titles are also available for loan, as well as micro:bits. You can request any item that is not immediately available.
