Essex Libraries operates the Town
Library in conjunction with Saffron Walden Library
next door. Many people do not realise that they are
two separate institutions. This is the Town Library
today, a place for quiet study. Anyone is welcome
to visit and to read the books. Many of the books
are out of sight in the rolling stacks but you can
find them by looking on the online catalogue ELAN
or by asking the library staff for help.
The reading room is a popular place for quiet
study and many people consult the extensive local
studies collection kept there
