CALLINGTON LIBRARY

 

The library was opened in 1971 in a purpose-built building in the grounds of Callington Community College. It is a true dual-use library for both the college staff and pupils and the local community and enjoys two book funds accordingly. There is a car park adjacent to it and a ramp to the door ensures access for all. Telephone 01579 383236 or e-mail callington.library@cornwall.gov.uk
