National Libraries Day

The 4^th February is National Libraries Day, a day devoted to all types of libraries, library users, library staff and supporters. National Libraries Day has been organised to bring attention to the importance of libraries and the problems with the library closures currently taking place. Now, libraries are much more than just aisles of books now taking the role of a guide to information. People use libraries for family history searching, learning to use computers and much more. So, why not support your local library by popping in to see them!

Our Library...

Philip Pullman

This is a bit old now, but here's a speech that Philip Pullman made in February this year about Library closures and how they will affect everyone.

A little quote...

A library book, I imagine, is a happy book.

• So that that means that our Library is full of happiness!

Save Our Libraries Day
Saturday 5 February

A day of action to bring greater attention to the cuts and closures facing many public libraries.

We want everyone who cares about reading, literacy and libraries to use their public library on the 5th February and tell as many people as they can to do the same.
