Star Centre Library

Canolfan a Llyfrgell Star Centre and Library is an impressive, purpose built leisure centre and library complex situated on the main street in Splott.
The library, (as with all of the libraries in Cardiff), is a focal hub for the local community, offering all kinds of activities and talks to inspire and educate. These events are often free of charge.
Splott is considered to be a ‘problem area’ and suffers from high unemployment and the associated social problems of economic privation. A small number of the kids in Splott are responsible for some pretty anti-​social behaviour. The authorities recognise the need to constructively engage the under sixteen’s, and so the library is intended to be a place where children from all backgrounds and age groups can meet and have fun.
The library has been recently refurbished, as have the sport and leisure facilities in the same complex. It has a wide range of books available for lending as well as providing access to the whole of the Cardiff Libraries collection. There’s a new children’s area that is packed with fun stuff, along with an extended IT facility that offers a range of computers along with full on-​line services and access. The library holds weekly pre-​school activities as well as half term events for school children. On Wednesday mornings they hold a story time and craft session at 10.30am. Weekly rhyme times are also available.
An adult Reading Group meets on the last Wednesday of every month from 7.00pm — 8.00pm.
