Testimonials

It's lovely to see all the children using the library and hear their laughter. Well done libraries for entertaining them so well and giving them a love of books. P.S. You're good with adults too.
Excellent service from the library staff. It is a real pleasure to visit each week. Many thanks.
I consider this library to be the most valuable resource to the community of Goole and the surrounding villages. The building has an attractive, open façade which signals that the library is open and welcoming to all sections of the community.
