Eye library

Eye Library is on Crowland Road on the corner of the crossroads and just across the road from the church. On the A47 from Peterborough, take the right hand turn at the roundabout (with petrol station and MacDonalds on the left), drive down approximately one hundred yards and the library is on the right before you get to the mini roundabout.
