    Great little library, staff are lovely and there is a wide range of books including a few that are on sale sometimes. Computer room is large and technician always nice and helpful. The library itself is right next to the bus station and next to the art gallery.

    Excellent facilities with quiet room for private studies. A adequate catalogue of DVDs and inspiring Art Gallery just next door...unfortunately they don't have Vending machines - like Oldham.

    I like Bury Library. The staff are friendly and helpful. The new regular times make it convenient and it's good to know printing can be produced at a reasonable cost. A good public service.
