How long do sessions last?
- Sessions can last up to 60 minutes and need to be booked in advance.
How do I book a session?
- Booking is easy, simply telephone the library that suits you and ask the staff to book you a 60 minute session.
- If there is something in particular you want to know, simply let the staff know what you are interested in learning and the library staff will let your buddy know.
