What is a Library Access Point?
Library Access Points (LAPs) are libraries staffed by volunteers and offer access to most of the services of Cambridgeshire Libraries.
Library Access Points are open for a minimum of six hours a week, with limited facilities.
The Library Service provides 1,000 books, essentially adult fiction paperbacks and junior fiction, and operates regular exchanges. Most LAPs supplement this provision with their own stock.
LAPs have access to a version of 'Unicorn', our computerised catalogue and issue system, to enable customer access for renewing and requesting items.
The LAP offers a permanent presence in the community, with internet access and study space. LAPs are a community facility and may offer other services of their choosing.
In most communities there is also a complementary mobile library service which carries a good range of large print, talking books and a range of non-fiction.
