More than books...
We love to see you coming to the library to choose books, but did you know there are lots of other things you can do while you're here?
We thought we'd share some of them with you.

Cheshire East customer service desks
Our friendly Customer Service Desk staff can help if you need help or advice with council enquiries or services such as:
- Applying for a Blue Badge
- Concessionary travel passes
- Benefits enquiries and applications
- Accessing planning application details
If you need any of these services it's best to book an appointment to make sure someone is on hand to help, and to check if there are any documents or ID you might need to bring with you. (Appointments must be made in advance at Alderley Edge, Bollington, Disley and Handforth libraries)
Please note that Prestbury Library is unable to offer these services as they do not have the necessary facilities.

Our public computers can be used for things like:
- searching the internet
- sending an email
- creating a Word document
- making an online application
- printing or scanning documents (up to A4)
What's more, they are free to use for an hour each day with your library membership. There is a charge for extra time and for non-members.
Library members also get free unlimited Wi-Fi access. If you're not already a member, it's free to join and gain access these services.

Local studies collections
Curious about your local area? Why not browse the local studies collection at your library?
If you're new to an area, it can be a great way to find out more about your new community, and some resources can also help with tracing your family history.
Collections vary, but usually you'll find a combination of books, pamphlets, trade directories, photographs, maps and (on microfilm) local newspapers, census returns and parish registers.

Seating and study spaces
Take a load off and relax for a while in a comfy chair. Read the paper, or read a story to your little ones, wait for the bus, or just catch your breath and watch the world go by - maybe with a hot drink.
Too noisy to study at home? Pop into one of our larger libraries and find a quiet table and chair.
