A big thank you to everyone who told us about their favourite childhood books on #worldbookday
Margaret Harris loved this book. She said I read 'Black Beauty' over and over again. Very strange, as I am not a horsey person
Saskia Robinson loved this book as a child
Joanne Ewbanks favourite book as a child was ......
Tina Arnison enjoyed One of The Five by Enid Blyton
excellent facilities and great staff - very good opening hours too
Sam (aged 4) and mummy LOVE the library - we go two or three times a month and Sam gets a stack of childrens books to read with daddy & me 👀👂👄📚 ... Sam has done a couple of the special events (reading challenges and recently the banner colouring) and enjoyed them - hopefully when he's a little bigger he'll enjoy the Lego club 😁
Me and my little boy love going to Penrith library! Staff always friendly
I cannot praise the staff enough! They're always so friendly, accommodating and helpful. Today's healthy eating session inspired us to try new healthy foods, thank you so much 😊
Great range of events & always lots going on. Have some really great displays too!
Friendly & helpful staff, good range of material
Fantastic resource for the community. Really enjoying the family/ kid events.
Fabulous service, from helpful happy staff.
Cant praise this library enough. The staff are friendly, supportive, helpful and happy to assist with anything. They always seem happy to be at work and always have a smile on their faces.
Today we came to bounce and rhyme and my 11 month old daughter loved it.Not only did she enjoy the session, but because it was world book day she was also able to take part, and was given a voucher for a book. She is now the proud owner of a 'peppa loves world book day' book. Thanks penrith library <3
Best place in town
