Digital technology has well and truly arrived in our libraries. We can check out our books and return them without speaking to a Librarian, even pay our fines. We can use library computers or bring our own devices and use their wifi. We can do our own photocopying and printing.
We dont have to visit the library to reserve books from other libraries, and we can borrow books digitally through the Borrowbox app.

People speak in normal voices, disability access is provided, Children have storytelling sessions, digital training is facilitated, public events are hosted, literary and otherwise.
