Our libraries might be closed but we are still here providing you with information, activities and new reads you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.
Last week we launched the new Your Online Library webpage designed to support you whilst in lock down. It's jam packed with activities and guides from keeping the kids stimulated and learning, applying for Universal Credit, support for small businesses to lots of trusted online resources including the NHS and BBC Bitesize.
