Booking

Our full catalogue of books can be viewed here via Libib and readers will book their book (haha) through it. Readers will then have 2 weeks to return the books or risk a fine.

Pick up & returns

Book pick ups and returns will be done via our physical space. Readers will also get the chance to browse our books and have a chat with our friendly(ish) librarians! 

Free Reading for kids!

Pocket Libraries physical space has books for toddlers that kids can easily access. Kids can read whether their parents are members are not. (Adults also welcome!)

Free colouring & crafts for toddlers (and adults)

Along reading, we have crafts available for toddlers. This includes colouring, and board games!
