Park Holme Library

The City of Marion has three public library locations which are at the Cultural Centre, Hallett Cove and Park Holme, I went to visit Park Holme. First impressions… bland from the outside — looks like a police station — and large on the inside, several internet PCs, checkout stations and low line book shelves. There’s also a large decoupaged table which looks interesting and serves a purpose.
But as with every library they offer more than what meets the eye, this particular branch services the local community via the mobile library runs, which is great for people young and old who cannot come to the library.
This library also has a toy section available for borrowing and suitable for children up to the age of twelve.
Currently they’re doing a food for fines amnesty until the end of January 2012, which will be donated to charity.
I noticed their reference collection is mixed in with the regular loan materials, at least that way it can be seen and utilised even if it’s within the library only. The borrowing amounts are generous.
