Limited Space in Children's Area at Eastwood Library

Due to a faulty fire exit, we have had to make some temporary adjustments in the children’s area to maintain our high standards of Health & Safety. As a result, space in this area is limited so we do ask that, if possible, people attending Rattle, Rhyme & Roll and Lullaby Bank could attend without buggies.

If you do bring them, we may have to park them in another area of the library, so we advise not leaving any valuables on it.

We apologise for any inconvenience

Dukeries Library Adult Public PC Out of Order

The Dukeries Library adult public computer is currently out of order – there is only one filtered (children’s) computer available.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
