Service Description: The Reference Library is situated in the Lord Louis Library in Newport. Our books are not for loan and consist mainly of encyclopaedias, dictionaries, statistics and other similar types.

Your FAQ

Question: Do your libraries contain quiet areas for study?

Answer: Most of our libraries are too small to accommodate a separate quiet study area. However, the Reference Library in Newport, and Ryde Library do have separate areas with desks which can be used for this purpose.

The music room at Lord Louis Library can also be used as a quiet study area.
