The Armadale Library is located inside the Armadale Central Shopping Centre in Armadale. The perfect spot to get your shopping done, stop for a cuppa or lunch and pick up a good read! Why not enjoy one of the many regular events or attend a workshop or even join one of the many groups.
Membership to the library is free and anyone can join. Just bring along any identification with your current address, such as a drivers license, rates notice, pension card or a bill. They have a great selection of books and resources in large print. Just ask the friendly staff to point you in the right direction if you can’t locate what you need.
You will receive a membership card which needs to be shown whenever you wish to borrow items. You can borrow up to 12 items for 3 weeks which can be renewed twice, as long as they haven’t been booked. You can do this from the convenience of your home either online or by phone.
Your membership gives you access to not only Armadale but also to Kelmscott and Seville Grove libraries, where you can return and borrow from them too.
For those who have grandchildren, Armadale Library has a lovely childrens section at the back of the building, which is conveniently next to the Birtwistle Study Centre! There are some lovely resources and plenty to keep little ones busy while you explore!
Armadale Library has some fantastic workshops, meetings and groups that run regularly as well as special events.
