Libraries

Merthyr Tydfil Public Library Service is a statutory service provided by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council. We run 3 Carnegie Libraries covering Dowlais, Merthyr and Treharris, one Community Library in Aberfan and a HomeLink’s service which covers the whole Merthyr Borough.

Public Libraries in Wales are governed by the 1964 Libraries and Museums Act and work towards achieving the Welsh Public Library Standards. The Welsh Public Library Standards are the method by which the Minister with responsibility for libraries can measure whether the service is delivering on the 1964 Act.
