Bore da i bawb

Did you know that as well as access to books, your library membership offers so much more, including free access to literally billions of records on Ancestry.com right here at your library in Llanwrtyd Wells?

Just visit us, we'll help you to get logged on to our computers and then you'll have all the records Ancestry has to offer at your finger tips free of charge.... Research people or places, it's free and it's fun!

Yet another wonderful reason to use our library. If you're not already a member, that too is free and super easy to do. Any one of our dedicated Library volunteers will help you, pop in and we look forward to helping you discover your history.

From a couple of years ago but true none the less and well worth a read, we are so lucky we still have our library in Llanwrtyd.

If you have not yet joined to take advantage of the facilities, then you'd be very welcome, it's so important that we support our local services.

Also, as you know the library is run by volunteers, so if you feel you can can help too, just drop in and have a chat with any one of our team.

Hope we see you soon 😊

Libraries are spaces "where we bump into each other and make acquaintance", Frank Cottrell-Boyce says.

Brrrr....what better way to deal with the winter weather than settling down with a good book? Plenty to choose from here and of course we've got the little ones covered too, with our extensive Junior Library, lots of choices in Welsh and English and a few cuddly toys to help!

Library use in the UK is dwindling with less than a third of the population using a library service in the last year. But with community and the latest hardbacks on offer, Lydia Spencer-Elliott argues that getting your membership should be top of your agenda for 2026

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda 🎉!!!

Happy New Year All, you dont need a flaming torch to join our library, but joining might well light a flame for you from the books you read.....

“The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.”
— Voltaire

If you make a resolution or two today, make one of them to join our library, it's not just about books, it's access to computers and printing, it's online access to E books and Audio Books, it's an information hub, but most of all it's about community. Join us in 2026 as a library member and if you are minded, as a volunteer to support this wonderful facility serving our lovely little town.

Hope we see you soon 😊

IMPORTANT NOTICE

We are very sorry but the Library will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday 3rd December 2025. The library will be open as usual on Friday

This is due to the fact that none of our volunteers are available. This doesn't happen very often as we work hard to ensure all opening times are covered, but it would be less likely to happen with a bigger pool of volunteers. So, if you feel you'd like to join our small but mighty band of Volunteer Librarians please speak to any of us at the library or message this page. You'd be very welcome 😊

See you Friday. 😁

Diolch
