Shani Akilah Library

Named after local author Shani Akilah who kindly donated books for our library, we have a wonderful collection of books for you to enjoy with some comfy chairs to relax in. You can sign the books out, just like a regular library, or read them in our 'Den'. This is located at the back of our venue, away from the cafe, giving you a nice peaceful environment to enjoy.
