Bishopdale Library is open

A temporary library in Bishopdale Mall is open while the original Bishopdale Library is repaired. The library is located in the former Westside Travel building, 17C Bishopdale Court. It has around 12,000 items, including adults’ and children’s fiction and non-fiction, large print books, talking books and DVDs. The library is open on weekdays from 9am-6pm and on Saturday from 10am-1pm.

Central Tuam is closing

Central Library Tuam closes on Friday 1 November 2013 because it is situated on land designated for the Justice and Emergency Services Precinct.

Our new temporary Central Library Manchester will open late January 2014 on the corner of Manchester Street and Allen Street.

Te Whata Raki

Come and discover Te Whata Raki. This online world contains traditional stories told through waiata, pictures, and sound. It is a beautiful interactive way to learn about our Māori heritage.

There is also a free iPad app available.

New to the Source, National Geographic Kids allows you access to the digital archive of the trusted children’s magazine.

Aimed at 6 to 14-year-olds, it offers reputable, authoritative, and age-appropriate articles that cover adventures in science, nature, culture, archaeology, and space.

Have you started using Freegal yet?

It offers over 7 million mp3 tracks from the Sony Music catalogue as well as over 12,000 videos from your favourite artists. It doesn't matter if you are into pop, country, jazz, classical or metal. It is here and it is FREE.

The summer holidays are fast approaching. Check out our holiday opening hours.

Come and look at Pictorial Books from the Victorian Age, an exhibition at Central Library Peterborough.
