Books glorious books…adventure; thriller; comedy and romance…whatever is your reading pleasure, you’ll be sure to find it at one of Swansea’s libraries.
Getting lost in a good book is one of life’s greatest ways to relax and staff at Brynhyfryd, Llansamlet, Penlan, Pennard and Sketty as well as at Swansea Central, Gorseinon, Morriston and Oystermouth have enjoyed welcoming back visitors to browse the library shelves looking for that perfect book.
If you’d rather use The Phone and Pick Up service continues but has to be booked in advance service just give your preferred library a call as this service will have to be booked in advance. Either way, you can borrow up to 10 books for 3 weeks.
And don’t forget that there are also computers and print materials that you can use; e-books, e-magazines and e-audiobooks that you can download for free too.
