Is Library Live Chat the powerhouse of all questions?
Library Live Chat is our online chat service that allows you to chat – live – with a member of library staff. The team are super speedy getting to more than 90% of calls within 30 seconds.

We also link our Facebook Messenger and Twitter messages to our chat software – because we know you like to message the library using these platforms too.
