The Thomas Poole Library in Nether Stowey is a welcoming, volunteer-run community library offering far more than books. You can browse fiction, large-print titles, DVDs and talking books, join clubs such as Knit and Natter or Dungeons and Dragons, attend Story Time, or get free drop-in IT help. There's a children's corner, free Wi-Fi, access to Ancestry.co.uk, and a relaxed spot for coffee and a chat. It suits families, readers and anyone wanting to explore local heritage or meet new people. Entry is free, and it's a lovely, low-key stop if you're staying nearby — Bridgwater station is 7.5 miles away, and there are 23 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
