Findon Library

Findon Library occupies the corner of Findon Shopping Centre, and has recently had a café added to the front, which now shares some of its foyer. Like I needed more reason to love a library, there’s now coffee close to hand.
This library is surprisingly large. You don’t see all of it until you round two corners from the entry foyer. There are about 10 computers, as well as a printing station, and two meeting rooms, one which is used for regular immunisations and for a Justice of the Peace three times a week (check the website for times).
There is an open space for young children to play in, though not much for them to play with, except for books (which I suppose is the idea).
In terms of their catalogue, this is a great library for general adult fiction, DVDs and non-​fiction. The non-​fiction area hides around the second corner, and is about a third of the entire collection. It covers a huge range of topics, and includes a lot of very picture focused, larger books for visual learners, as well as a large selection of books in Italian.
Their DVD range is amusingly dated, and you can find very old TV series here that you don’t often see in libraries. They also have quite a large range of audio books, which always pleases me. This is a great library for books and much more.
