The library is staffed and run by enthusiastic volunteers and there are no paid positions. The library was opened 25 years ago, and has undergone several changes to become the modern and well organised service it is today.

The Book Collection
The shelves are bulging with both old and new books for adults, young adults and children, fiction and non-fiction, consisting of classics as well as the most recent popular releases. Members are welcome to request the library purchase a particular book.
Magazines
A comprehensive collection of 60 popular magazine titles means that the community can share this expensive resource - good for reducing waste and for the budget too. There is an eclectic cross-section of glossies to suit both male and female borrowers; from cooking, computing and consumer choice, decorating and fashion, environment and gardening, handcrafts and hobbies, homes and health, to motor vehicles and science.
