North Watford Library

I was very sad, when I asked about Lego event they have because on the poster was "ask member of staff for details" but lady was rude, said it's on the poster. Not helpful at all. Please hire people who are helpful! Or not rude at least...

This is one of the best forms of free entertainment that my children and I have found. The library is well stocked, with a good selection of DVDs for rental too. The children's section is well-kept, with plenty of fun seating for the little ones to have a relaxing read in. Story time and rhyme time are useful additions that the children enjoy. The staff are quite helpful, and are happy to give you tips on good books for different age groups.


Of course becoming a member and borrowing books are completely free. It is never too early to start too, children can be members soon after birth if you wish! It's a good place to take the kids out especially in the colder months when you can't do much outdoors.

This is a lovely local library with a great range of children's books and DVDs to borrow. The staff are well informed and very friendly, and even taking my baby in I have never been made to feel unwelcome. The only drawback is that the library does not have easy access with parking being some distance away. The library has standard opening times making it sometimes difficult to access when working full time, but it does offer a drop box for books which makes things easier. There is a sister library in town, but this one offers in my view a superior service.
