Visiting with your family


Are you visiting with children? The library does not have a Children’s section and its documents are mainly intended for adults, but did you know that the library provides various documents and activities in the different spaces that children would enjoy?
 
And if you are grandparents, take advantage of priority access without queuing, with your grandchildren, through the priority yellow line (for over 65s). Children remain under the responsibility of the adults that accompany them.
