How to get here
At Manor Top there are two Supertram stops, one on either side of the road. One is for trams bound for either Halfway or Herdings Park, the other for trams bound for the city centre and Malin Bridge. Manor Library lies directly behind the stop for trams heading towards the city centre and Malin Bridge. Just beyond the end of the platform where the rear of the tram comes to a stop, there is a set of waist-high metal gates. Go through these gates and follow the path. This is slightly downhill and bears round to the right. As the path flattens out, there is a building on your left with a set of double doors. This is the entrance to the library.
For more information please view map.
