Children of all ages are safe to roam and discover what interests them. There are group activities, workshops and clubs - not to mention hundreds of books.

Learning for all ages

Research shows that learning a new skill can help you feel more motivated, meet new people and boost your self-confidence. 

You don’t need to sit exams or tests to learn new things and your local library might have the story, activity or service to get you started.
