Eccleshill Library

I have been using this library for years. It has quite a sizable children’s area and is very family friendly. In the children’s area there are tables and chairs for the children to sit and read or draw at. Paper and crayons are usually out on the tables, if not, you can request them. It has a good selection of children’s books, catering for ages 0 to teenage years.
Older children may be more interested in the internet access or media loans. They have two main internet areas, one in the children’s section, and the other in the quieter adult library area. During busy times you may have to book a computer.
For a branch library Eccleshill carries a wide range of media. CDs, DVDs and console games are all available to rent.
The adult section is nicely laid out, it’s easy to find the books you are looking for. There are some tables and chairs by the windows and some easy chairs dotted around. The atmosphere here is always very calm, even when the children’s area is full. The staff are very helpful and there is a toilet available upstairs. The only negative is that the toilets are not pushcahir friendly as they are up a flight of stairs.

My son loves this library. The staff are very friendly, and the book selection is excellent.
There are also a few toys dotted about, and colouring etc to keep the little ones entertained.

This is a great library. The staff are very friendly, and the book selection is excellent, they rotate the books regularly so we never run out of choice. There are also a few toys, jigsaws etc. dotted about, and colouring etc to keep the little ones entertained. On Mondays at 2pm there is a storytelling session with a craft afterwards which is excellent.
