Up Hatherley Library

Nice bags for the kids to sit on while they read. Nice selection of children's books & spacious. Changing facilities require a key from worker which can be difficult during busy hours. Outside playground is great for older kids (3+). Free parking onsite.

No baby changing facilities for dads to change their children. Its hidden away in the women's toilets.

Friendly staff, decent range of young children's books with good reading area for kids too. Seem to have a big range for learning to read and school age kids, but we're still in the picture books age for now. Big car park too with a park next door so kids can play before/after. Plus you can grab a food shop at Morrisons next door if you wanted to be super productive!

Lovely local library. I use the online service to reserve books from other branches if there’s something I want that’s not local. The friendliest staff make all the difference here and I love how helpful everyone is!

Clean, bright place with plenty of books and lots of space to push a pram around the shelves while browsing. Every member of staff I've met have been very kind, polite and gone that bit extra to make sure we're happy. Lovely looking area for the kids which I look forward to using properly when my son starts to read! Feel very lucky to have this library so close by.
