What visitors say
Great library. Went with a child, attended the story time. Staff was welcoming and polite. Tidy and great selection of kids books. There are little nooks for little ones to read. The only downside is that there is no carpark so had to park on a side street.

Social hub. Free library with loads of books for adults,kids,teens. Kids having free activities like Lego, story books. Staffs is very helpful. Love this place. Issuing books are very faster by machines, what ever number of books you have, that was amazing.

Took my grand daughter to rhyme time here, it was lovely, she really enjoyed it, then we went into the library area and chose some books for her. It's bright and welcoming and the staff are so friendly and helpful, especially Sue, who takes the rhythm time sessions.

Attended another Friends of Rhydypenau Library talk last night, on Trolleybus to Trams, and absolutely loved it. You get tea and cake, the people are so friendly and the talk was fascinating.
