August Bank Holiday 2022

Libraries are no longer just places to borrow books or study, they are also creative and engaging community spaces where people can gather, relax, read or explore resources, join a workshop and enjoy socialising with their local community, maybe even make friends along the way. Libraries run bookclubs, writing groups, craft circles and many other workshops and classes throughout the year.

The local public library has also become a technology hub in the community as people use the free internet/wifi, use PCs and printing services and access a range of services online such as training courses
