Tameside Central Library

I joined the library a couple of months ago, when joining there was a discrepancy, they said I owed them £37 from 6 years ago, they address they had didn’t match up to any address I’d ever lived at, the lady behind the counter was really helpful, they wrote off the balance and I was allowed to sign up.
The reason I joined the library originally was because I wanted to read all the Harry Potter books again. Despite the books being very popular they always had the one in that I wanted.
I love reading and read a new book about once a week so it’s great having all these books available to me. Sometimes it’s quite tricky to find one I want as they have the books scattered about on displays and things but usually I can find something I like the look of.
The staff on the whole are friendly, there is one lady that always looks like she’s sucking on a wasp but the rest are fine. The library is never too busy when I go so I never have to queue for long.
I haven’t been into the archive centre yet but plan to have a look round soon.

Brilliant cenral library. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Archives section at the back is really goo for researching your family tree or just finding something out about the local area.
Records are mostly stored on microfilm so its best to ring the day before your visit and book one. They are really popular.
Upstairs is the art gllery with a good ange to look at. They also do school art workshops which are great. Been on one recently with the local school my kids attend. Even I enjoyed the glueing and sticking.

great for all you booklovers and i believe there is a learning internet place too think you can look up you family history too

A good source of information, especially if you’re into reading books.
