Book borrowing and so much more...

Did you know the library offers much more than books to borrow?

Borrow books: You can of course browse our collection in the library but there are thousands of books available to borrow from the central library catalogue – take a look at their website to reserve or order a book to borrow. https://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/leisure-and-community/libraries

Use the computers or WiFi: We have two computers to use to browse the internet, read emails, do internet shopping, research family history and much more. If you want to book a session on the computer please ask or book it on-line or bring your own device to use the FREE WiFi.

Print or Photocopy: You can send documents from your phone, tablet or computer to print at the library or you can scan documents straight to your own email account.

Community Groups and Activities: Starting with our youngest readers we hold the Wriggly Readers session on Tuesday mornings. This is a drop in group so no need to book. Your Wrigglies will listen to stories, sing songs and take part in craft activities in a warm, safe and friendly environment. Our Digital Drop In sessions on Wednesday mornings are for those wanting help with digital devices. Some pop in for a couple of sessions and some attend more regularly each week gaining confidence. The Book Club that started in the early summer has proved to be extremely popular and now has a waiting list of avid readers wanting to join in. They meet monthly on a Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon the Busy Hands and Minds sessions provide a warm place to meet friends, chat, play games and craft.

Our recent Book Sale held in conjunction with the Narborough Market at Dales and Eleven Eleven and the Children’s Books sale outside the library both raised much needed funds. We plan to hold several more Pre-loved book sales. If you have any fairly current books in good condition to donate we would be pleased to accept them.

Our Quiz and supper in September was well attended and enjoyed by all, again raising funds for the community groups and activities.

Coming soon: How to start researching your Family History using the library resources. Saturday 5th November 2pm – a FREE activity so book in advance to secure your place.

Fabric Christmas Wreath Making with mulled wine and mince pies. Friday 11th November 7pm . £10 Places limited so please book.

Pre Loved Book Sale Saturday 12th November. Winter Fayre and Raffle Saturday 26th November

THANK YOU ! Without our wonderful volunteers your library would not exist. We are desperately seeking volunteers to become the Premises Officer and the Events Coordinator. If you would like to know more please get in touch.
