• Our libraries are designed for adults. Be wary of hazards like stairs, balconies, sharp corners or electrical equipment
• Some of the books will not be suitable for young children
• Children are not allowed to use the PCs in the building
• Children are not allowed in the quiet or silent areas on level 2 or the quiet area on level 4 of the Adsetts Library
