Salisbury Library by LouiseTopp
The library in Salisbury is at the corner of the market square next to the Cornmarket Inn. It?s improved a lot over the years & it?s not as dingy as it was. They used to have some swing doors at the front which were very heavy to use, they used to swing back sending you flying across the terrace. The library is approached by a flight of steps inside there is reception and a counter for book renewals/returns. They also have contact point which gives out information on local clubs and societies. There?s also a rear entrance which has a button to push which will open the doors for people in wheelchairs. At the back is the children?s lending library, it?s like being back at school again.Every first Saturday of the month they run stories & activities for the children from 11-12pm. They also have family Story Time on the 2nd, 4th & 5th Saturday in the month. There are many activities for children here; on entering you notice the fish tank with two goldfish, & the little furniture next to a small blackboard for the kiddies to scribble on.
Upstairs in an artist?s galley where the photographic society displays their work, there?s also an area for reference and using the net. Your only allowed two sessions per hour on the net and it will time out whether your in the middle of work or not, but you do get a warning five minutes beforehand. There?s a lift to the upper levels, sometimes he one by the back access, fails to work for some reason. If you want a book & it?s not in, you may order if for 50p.
The opening hours are:
9-5pm Monday to Friday
Saturday is 4pm.
