The Westcountry Studies Library in Exeter and the Railway Studies Collection at Newton Abbot are of national significance. Talks, readings by authors, music, creative workshops and a host of other community art activities, performances and competitions, take place in many libraries. Our programme of events aims to provide something to please all ages and tastes. Most libraries will soon provide at least one computer for information searches on the Internet and on CD-Roms. Many will also have computers dedicated mainly to helping young people up to the age of 16 with their studies, and some computers may at certain times be booked on a charged basis for facilities such as word-processing or longer periods of access to the Internet.
Membership is free.
You want to know about temporary membership. You want to use the library as a visitor. Books may be borrowed for 21 days. Music and spoken word items are hired on a weekly basis for up to 7 weeks, with the first week payable in advance. Videos can be hired on a weekly basis.
