The Mercury Library and Community Hub
The library has over 1,500 books to borrow, four public access computers, a copier/printer, comfy seats and tea and coffee. Come and pay us a visit and receive a warm welcome from our band of lovely volunteers.

The large, bright, flexible space can be configured to suit your requirements with a maximum capacity of 60 people. There is a meeting room, seating up to eight people making it ideal for small meetings, interviews or quiet working. It has all the facilities you might need including WiFi, projector and screen. There is a small kitchen for the preparation of refreshment with clean modern facilities. The large patio doors lead to a pleasant, no smoking, patio area.
