Please tell us what you think about our website, we welcome your feedback.

We love books and reading and we want you to love them too!

We offer a range of activites and events. Library staff are passionate about books and reading; across our network of 30 libraries and five mobiles we have people who read a wide range of things! Libraries allow you to access that knowledge and enthusiasm.

We want to work with local groups and communities to deliver the reading activity that you want. If your reading group, or people you know, have a burning desire to have an author or workshop and are prepared to help us arrange it – let your local library know.
