Libraries
Welcome to the gateway to Sefton's library and information
services
What's on offer?
- We offer you a free lending service for books, large-print
books and 'talking' books (on tape and
CD
). We try to cater for everyone's
reading interests.
- We provide a comprehensive reference and
information service in libraries, and we can help you
source European developments, news and
statistics. There are also many databases that you can
use at home through our Reference Online service - it's
all free including access to the 24/7
'Enquire' service.
- If you are interested in local history or in tracing your family tree we have a range of
free resources to help you, including the
'Ancestry' genealogical databases. We pay the subscriptions, so you
don't have to.
- We provide a variety of adult and community learning
opportunities. You can also access Learndirect (and
other) courses at the Connect Learning Centre in Crosby
Library.
- You can hire multi media stock (DVDs, videos,
Playstation games and music
CDs
)
- all at moderate charges.
- If you want to borrow books and other
items, or use the People's Network computers, you'll need to
join and get a ticket - it's
free. If you just want to browse, read,
study, find out the answer to a query or look around, do come
in - you don't even need to join. You're very welcome.
Comments?
We welcome your comments, ideas and
suggestions about the library service. There are comment forms
in all libraries for you to fill in - or you can contact us. We
shall take note of your comments and respond promptly to the points
you raise.
If we do something wrong or fail to do something you
expect, or if you feel you were not treated courteously by a member
of staff, you might want to draw this to our attention. Sefton
Council has a straightforward
procedure for you to follow - and we will do our
best to put the matter right.
We are at your service
