Multimedia
You'll find much more than just books in our libraries. Have you browsed through the Multimedia items? This is where you will find the non-book stock.
Multimedia items include: Talking Books (on cassette and CD); a wide variety of music CDs; Video games and DVD's from movie blockbusters to award winning television series; outstanding documentaries to easy workouts. There is something to suit all tastes.
Who can use it?
Anyone with a library card can borrow up to 8 of the items mentioned above (12 Talking Books), in any combination and in addition to the number of books you can borrow. Please note however, that Talking Books are part of your book allocation, so if you borrow 12 Talking Books you will not be able to borrow books at the same time.
Talking Books can be borrowed for 3 weeks at a time, and the other items can be borrowed for 1 week.
Charges
There are
charges to borrow the items, and
fines will be incurred for overdue items.
OAP's, the visually impaired and the unwaged will be exempt from paying a hire charge on the talking books, as long as proof of exemption is shown, e.g. Bus Pass, ES40. Children up to the age of 16 can borrow Talking Books for free but they will have to pay the hire charge to borrow other items.
