I have been a member of Newport library for a number of years and highly recommend people joining, not only is it free to join but you can rent out the usual books as well as DVDs and Cd’s.They have several computers upstairs and you can use these for free, you sometimes have to wait but you can pre book in advance then stay online for up to two hours. The library staff are very nice and will kindly help with anything you need, including finding books, joining, late fees etc. There are some really comfortable sofas in the library which you can sit down and relax whilst reading the newspaper or a good book. In today’s hard times joining a library is a good way to save money and Newport is one of the best.
