Saturday 7 February is National Libraries Day – this is the time to support your local library and find out about the events taking place near you throughout the week.
Probably never before has it been so important to support our libraries. So many have been closed due to spending cuts yet they are vital to our communities. For many people and families, libraries are a lifeline and qualified librarians are there to help in so many ways.
From public noticeboards to bookclubs, from computer and internet access to homework clubs, from research to a comfortable and warm place to read, libraries are the hub of local life.
Please support your local library and find an event that is happening near you this week.
A library ticket cost you nothing but is a passport to the universe.
