Isle Of Wight Celebrates National Libraries Week

Monday, 4 October 2021 13:46

Isle of Wight libraries are hosting a number of events this week, in celebration of National Libraries Week.

Libraries Week is a week-long celebration of the nation’s much-loved libraries.

This year, celebrations will highlight the role that libraries play in their community as a major driver for inclusion, sustainability, social mobility and community cohesion.

Throughout the week adults and young people are invited to take part in a host of activities, including story time and craft sessions, knit and natter, art groups, and heath walks.

Councils Libraries manager, Rob Jones, said:

“We have a brilliant programme of activities during Libraries Week as we do all year round. Our libraries bring the community together and make a difference to people’s lives. Everyone is welcome and the library is free to join.

“Libraries offer a range of inclusive creative and social activities that connect individuals and communities. We help combat loneliness and improve wellbeing and make a lasting impact on people’s live. Our libraries support you throughout life. From story time groups for toddlers; supporting job seekers to get online and help with CV’s; to local health walks, we have you covered.”

Joining the library is free. Visit your local library with one form of ID with your name on it – e.g a bank card, to sign up. You can also join online at www.iow.gov.uk/thelibrary

The Library Service is always open online. You can view digital magazines, books, music and newspapers available through dedicated apps. You can sign up for digital services by becoming a library member, if you aren’t already, then download the relevant app.

To find out more about the services and activities that your Library has to offer throughout the year, visit www.iow.gov.uk/thelibrary or call our library team on (01983) 823824.
