Banbury Library

The library is a fantastic resource for Banbury with a really lovely collection of children’s books, CDs and DVDs. The library is spread into sections with downstairs being devoted to child and adult fiction and some reference books. Upstairs there are computers that can be booked out to use, microfilm machines and further more academic reference books. There are quiet areas to study or work and there is a peaceful ambience over the area.
There is a very popular CD and DVD library which can be rented much like books and is quite an up to date selection. The staff are really nice and will order things in for you if they are not available and this is usually quite a speedy service. A really nice place to sit and work, read or a refuge from the craziness of the outside world!

Banbury Library, situated in the very heart of the town centre, is a fantastic place to go just to relax for a while during a lunch break or at the weekend. As a family, we have visited the library many times, mainly at weekend. Especially good is the really fast free internet they have there, and also the wide selection of CDs and DVDs you can rent. All you have to do is join the library and recieve a card, all free. DVDs are around £1 each for a week, and they often have latest releases days after they come out. This is amazing value when you think of somewhere like Blockbusters! (£3 for a night min!). A well kept local secret, go and check it out! Staff are always very friendly and helpful.
A Highly recommended fantastic resource.
