Welcome to Suffolk libraries

It's free to join the library and everyone is welcome.

With a library card you can borrow books, CDs, DVDs, videos, spoken word such as story cassettes and language courses, and computer games from any library (and return them to any other Suffolk library).

You can use the internet for free in every library. You can book a computer. There is the Web Assistant and friendly staff available to help.
The virtual reference library on our web site provides links to a wide range of selected internet resources from travel information to homework help. You can ask us a question on AskSuffolk, our email enquiry service.
Look under ‘Library services’ for information about services and special collections, such as the Music and Drama collection; the mobile, home and schools library services; and Suffolk’s special Sunday libraries.
