Get involved - information and toolkits

As part of Libraries Change Lives Week (1-7 June), Discover Your Library Day is a chance to encourage your community to explore what their local library has to offer. Everyone knows libraries loan books, but there's so much more: free computer access, printing and photocopying services, family events, adult learning, business support, family history help - the list is endless! Find out more about Discover Your Library Day here.
