Hi

I just thought I'd tell you about a couple of things that we have coming up over the next few weeks.  Have I mentioned that 2008 is the National Year of Reading?!?!  We're planning all sorts of events to appeal to cross-sections of the community.  You might have already come across our under-fives story times that are running at Barton Library on a Monday afternoon and the Central Library on a Thursday morning.  They are proving to be hugely successful and children, parents and the staff all seem to be really enjoying them (and as one of the storytellers I should know!)

We also have Join Your Library Day on 26^th April - so if you're not already a library member you should go along to your nearest library and join (I'll tell you a bit more about it nearer the time).

On 23^rd May we have a Silver Surfer session at the Central Library for those who don't know what this Internet and email lark is all about and want a little taster.  So if your parents or grandparents fit the bill then let them know about it.  You can find out more by contacting the library on 01724 860161.

And then the big event for May is our Health Choices Day on 28^th May in the Central Library.  Various health practitioners will be with us all day to help you with some of the health choices that you have to make, from choosing a hospital to keeping yourself healthy.  Again, I'll tell you more about it when plans have been firmed up.

In the meantime if you want to keep up-to-date with all of our coming events then check out our events calendar.

Hope to see you in the library soon!
