The library was re-opended earlier this week.

The new library is bigger than the combined areas of the two libraries it replaces, with more stock and longer opening hours.

More than 40,000 books are available from 8:30am to at least 5:30pm every weekday.

The state-of-the-art library has free WiFi, as well as public computers.

The children's area features a book train and a hideaway seat and an improved teen area. There is window seating for those who wish to browse the newspapers, a large local studies space as well as an express zone for people in a hurry.

The library is based in the County Hall offices on Bythesea Road.

42 parking spaces at the front of County Hall are allocated for visitor parking including library customers.
