Library


This is one of the top non - fiction genres of books in the library.


This is one of the signs in the library to tell people that all of the books in this part are fiction books.

This is the most popular non - fiction genre of books in this library


This is one of the most popular fiction genre of books in the library.



These are the reading groups for the adult library which would be a nice place for maybe elderly people who live alone can go to the library and be able to chat to a group of people rather than just reading books by themselves.

This is a sign to tell people that all the books in this part of the library are non - fiction books.

This sign shows that the library does not just have paper books they also have audio books which is good because some people who may not be able to read a book would be able to listen to a book instead.

Also, this library has DVDs which can be taken out for 7 days which shows that this library is changing in the digital age and making libraries more popular to younger age groups rather than a library just being for adults or for little kids.

The sign shows that the library has learndirect which is a new digital programme to help adults learn to read and write and it is in the library so people can just go to this library and get some help rather than having to go to a place that is just for learndirect.

These are some other reading groups but these reading groups are for children and they would happen in the children's library which is seperate from the adults one.
