All Barnsley libraries are a welcoming hub for the community where you can meet, learn, discover and access services. Whether you want to get online, join in with activities and events, borrow a book or need somewhere to study, you’re sure to find something for you.

At the heart of the library service is Library @ the Lightbox – a vibrant space where everyone can connect, learn, create and relax. Featuring state-of-the-art technology, this safe and exciting space is part of The Glass Works retail and leisure development transforming Barnsley town centre

However, Mapplewell Library is well respected and provides a quality experience to all local residents and users.
