National Public Libraries Open Day Saturday 28 September 2024

To coincide with the Day, the Take a Closer Look campaign is encouraging people to take a closer look at the wide-ranging services open to them through their libraries, with the vast majority freely available.  
Library services are accessible, with many now available online. Over 12 million books – including the latest best sellers, are available to borrow through our public libraries. And an array of services beyond the borrowing of books are part of your library membership benefits, including audiobooks, eBooks, eMagazines, computers and laptops, free WiFi, study spaces, talks, courses, workshops, activities, exhibitions, exhibitions, children-focussed activities and events, sensory services.

dlr Libraries will be exploring VR, sharing storytimes with our younger patrons, showcasing our online resources and much more. Why not visit your local library for National Public Libraries Open Day and join hundreds of thousands of people who already enjoy the benefits of library membership.
