Welcome to Cardiff's libraries
At our libraries we can offer you a world of knowledge and entertainment, from books to CDs to DVDs to Internet Access, community events and a whole universe of online services. If all this new technology is a bit scary, don't worry, you can still come in and read the paper while you wait for your bus.
We've got something for everyone:
- soft books for babies
- large print books if your eyes are on the wane
- foreign language books and newspapers
- trade journals
- historical archives
Wherever you are we've got a branch library near you, and as well as our mobile library we also offer a special service for the housebound. It's free and easy to join up and take advantage of all that is available.
On these pages you will find details of our services, including opening times for your local branch and access to our iBistro online system. This will provide you with access to our catalogue, allow you to reserve and renew online and access a world of knowledge via the e-reference section. You can access the help feature on our Library Catalogue page and the e-Library page that will help to guide you through.
Check out our news section for details of branch refurbishments and library events and follow
the links that lead to a range of other fascinating sites such as the BBC's fantastic RAW
campaign.
If you have any queries email us at contactlibraries@cardiff.gov.uk or visit your local branch.
