The historical mill town of Buckfastleigh, which includes the neighbouring abbey village of Buckfast, is situated on the southern edge of eastern Dartmoor within the National Park. The library is housed in the Town Hall, where the provision of books and papers for the local working population dates back to a reading room provided by the Hamlyns, the local Mill owners. Today, the town still retains much of its character and charm despite periods of hardship.
The library is open on five days a week and hosts a number of events and activities, as well as offering free computer use and a wide variety of books for all ages. The active Friends of Buckfastleigh Library Group also supports the library with fundraising activities and hosting author events and summer activities.

Tidelines is exploring the place we live from lots of different perspectives with something of interest for everyone whatever age you are.
We are joining-up and sharing different forms of knowledge and information, in creative ways, in order to learn more about our changing home: combining different ways of thinking about things such as science, arts, history, geography and marine biology.
We are looking to develop research and action with communities, in response to the changing marine and estuary environment in Exmouth and the Exe estuary.
We are living in a time of environmental and climate emergency and we want to do the best we can to ensure a flourishing future for the many different communities of people and other diverse creatures (for example insects, marine life, birds) that live here.
In our pilot year, 2020, you are invited to take part in events, activities* and gatherings, to find out more, share knowledge, inspire learning and reflection. This will help us work out what people are really interested in. You can find out what is on by visiting this website, joining our mailing list or through social media and local networks.
