How to find us

The library entrance is on Tynewydd Road. The stretch of road outside the main entrance is a one way street that leads past King Square into Holton Road. Before reaching this point, drivers are advised to turn into Wyndham Street and park in the car park at the rear of the library. Many of the buses that operate in town stop outside the library. Anyone arriving by train should alight at Barry Dock Station and walk up one of the streets leading from the station to Holton Road. This will take about 10 minutes.
