Wellbeing at the library

Our libraries have resources and spaces to help you relax and look after yourself.

The library has a dedicated wellbeing corner where you can sit, read, or simply relax. You’ll also find colouring sheets, puzzles, and pens for games, arts, and crafts.

Outside, there is a patio with a garden overlooking the lake. Benches and tables are available for lunch, break times, or for spending a peaceful moment in nature.

The library has a wellbeing corner with bean bags that you can use to relax and unwind. There are also a few gardens in the vicinity.
