What a lovely place! I love these small town libraries, visit a lot of them, but this one is outstanding! Café, gallerie, library... all in one place! People are really nice. They offer game nights, story nights and other community activities to get everyone going. I highly recommend ilit if you fancy a coffee or free wifi
