Good reasons to visit your library now!

“I love browsing actual books.” You can choose by the cover, the weight, the author or the blurb. Bring in the kids so they can pick a silly story for themselves. Borrow a favourite or something completely new, a novel to escape in or a book of facts and learning how to do. Better bring a big bag because you can borrow 24. “There are so many to choose from and it doesn’t cost you a penny!”

” I’m so busy at work now I’m still using Click and Collect.” We’ve all made changes and had to alter our lives over the last year, launching Click & Collect was just one of many ways Nottingham City Libraries have adapted to help. It’s really easy, tell us what you like to read, and our staff will select up to 24 books for you, just call your library or fill in an online form. You can choose any mixture of types of book, including children’s books, novels, large print, non-fiction and spoken word from any of our libraries. Find out more about Click & Collect here.

“I needed to look up something for my family tree, so I booked on at the library and used Find My Past for free.”  Whatever you need it for; to watch an online event, to type up and print a CV, to fill in a benefits form, to scan your ID, make a Zoom video call, it’s free for library members. “When I needed more help I could email the Local Studies Library staff, even though I can’t use the main library right now they helped and got back to me on my email later”
