Children – If the parent is a member and willing to act as guarantor for the child (pay fines on late items etc) then simply bring in the parent’s library card and give us the child’s name and date of birth.

If children would like to learn how to program a computer come in and learn how to use Micro:bit.
We will give you some ideas how to get started and you can loan a Micro:bit for 3 weeks the same way as you loan a book.Children need to be a Library member.
