Great Yarmouth Central Library

The library has a very good childrens area which is nicely layed out and offers a good range of books. There is also activities on offer for the children in the library which is great for the local community. The library also lends CDs and DVDs and there is also internet access available. It is very quite which I find the perfect place to come and study for exams.

Very modern, bright with a lovely atmosphere. Loads of books to choose from. They have a very large childrens section. Videos and dvd’s to hire. Information centre with computers that are connected to the internet. Very helpful and friendly staff. Overall — Excellent.

The Central Library is available for use for everyone. It is easy to access even for those in wheelchairs or mobility scooters. All books are on the ground floor. Though, there is a lift to the first floor and basement (where the archives are held) and a member of staff will take you up and down.
There are plenty of computers for use and once you have joined the library you are able to use these almost whenever you like, just an hour at a time though.
Joining the library is free and gives you scope not only to use the computers but to be able to book in advance a newly issued book tht may be difficult to get hold of, or one that may be in a different library.
On the first floor there are lecture rooms and often there will be exhibitions, all free.
Different clubs also hold meetings in the lecture rooms.
So the Library doesn’t just hold books, and can be used by everyone. The staff are helpful and can advise and assist on use of computers and other research aids.
Take a look you may be surprised.
