Heswall Branch Library

Not one of the best libraries that I’ve ever been it, but it’s a library nonetheless! As usual with all the Wirral based libraries, you feel like you’ve stepped back in time a bit as soon as you wander in, they all need a huge refurbishment!
They have computers that still have floppy disk drives in them, yellowing and weathered books and often smell like must! However, they’re keeping people happy and that’s the main thing! I do wish that Wirral libraries would invest a bit of money into nicer buildings and up to date facilities though. maybe training pensioners how to use computers etc, but on decent computers!
There is a quiet study area that students can use at their leisure when they need to get on with some work, a wide range of fiction and nonfiction books and a paid printing facility. Internet is free to all Wirral libraries members for the first half hour when they arrive!

This small town library has very friendly, helpful staff, and a fairly decent selection of modern children’s books and general fiction. They are pretty lacking in the non fiction department, mainly for lack of space, I’m guessing, and there are not that many classics and older books for those of us who prefer more literary literature.
We popped in here to have a browse because I cannot resist any library, but we also asked the front desk for some assistance in figuring out a bus route. They were very helpful and even provided us with a time table for the bus in question.
