Caldicot Library is light and spacious, with welcoming and helpful staff.  We have something to offer all age groups.

The library works closely with local health visitors on the Bookstart project.  All children are welcome (libraries are no longer very quiet places to please do not worry about a crying baby or toddler tantrum).

We have a lovely Under Fives area; children can climb aboard the fire engine and play while you choose from our selection of board and picture books.

We hold free weekly Under Fives Story Times and fortnightly Baby Rhyme Times. 

The children’s area offers a wide selection of stories for all ages and abilities.  There is also a good selection of non-fiction to help with homework and hobbies.

We hold free story and activity sessions during school holidays.

The library is a place young people can come to relax, meet friends, surf the net with our free broadband, read magazines and, of course, borrow books!

Online resources include Encyclopaedia Student, dictionaries, newspapers Who’s Who and many more.

Books can enrich your life, whether you read to relax or to fire your imagination.  Visit Caldicot Library to read the latest bestsellers, rediscover old favourites or take advantage of our knowledgeable staff to find out what to read next.

There is a monthly Reading Group on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 4pm.

We are also starting a new Reading Group, which will meet on the last Tuesday of every month at 6pm.  The first meeting will be on Tuesday 25th January 2011.  Please let us know if you would like to join.

Find it difficult to read normal print?   We have a large selection of large print and audio books.

Can’t find what you are looking for?  You can make free requests via a visit to the library, the online library catalogue or by phone.

Caldicot Writers meet in our community room every Wednesday at 10am – 1pm.  New members always welcome.

We offer free access to the Internet and Microsoft Office applications (for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations etc).  Scanning and printing are also available.

First Click sessions for those aged 55 and over are held every week.  Please let us know if you would like to join the next course.

We subscribe to a number of online information resources which are available to you from home, work or worldwide at any time of the day or night.

Are you interested in family/local history research?  We have books to help you trace your roots, and free access to Ancestry.com is available via our library computers.

If you belong to a community group and would like someone to give a talk about the library service, please contact us.
