Young Adult Services
You young whippersnappers may think us Library-folk aren’t down with everything that’s hip and happening in the 21st century. Allow us to prove you wrong.
Pop in to the Library - we promise you won’t be disappointed. Need more convincing? We’ve got one word to say to you: Free WiFi and Xbox Kinect. Well technically that’s five words but you’re interested now aren’t you?
Oh and beanbags, we’ve got plenty of those. They’re still cool, right?
Specialised Young Adult Area
The YA area is your go-to place in the Library, especially reserved just for you. With the beanbags we mentioned above, plus tables and chairs, you can chill out in study or relaxation heaven.
No password is needed for our Free WiFi Hotzone and don’t forget our Xbox Kinect (we know you were still thinking about it, or perhaps you’re already halfway to the library on your penny-farthing.) Remember to use your best pleases and thankyous when asking our friendly staff for our selection of games, along with headsets to keep things quiet and peaceful. Be sure to bring ya’ besties or of course fly solo for some down time.
