Why not use your book token to buy a new book for just £1 ot head over the the World Book Day website to listen to an audio book or watch a book reading video. https://www.worldbookday.com/
In line with the Government Announcement on February 22nd Libraries will not be able to open to the public until April 12th at the earliest therefore we wanted to remind everyone that we are still offering the Reserve and Collect Service we implemented before.
Books can be requested by: Completing a Request Form by Phone: 0116 305 3706 or by email: nandlclibrary@gmail.com
When contacting the library by phone or email to request items please provide the following information:
Your library card number and telephone number
Your book requests/preferences. This could be a selection of your favourite authors/genres or up to 5 specific book titles.
Once again we are delighted to see a new display at the Library to brighten our day. The Busy Hands and members of Hob Nobs have come together to create another fabulous display for you to enjoy. Hopefully it will bring a smile to your face during these cold and uncertain times.
Thanks to our growing number of Library Friends, many who are also volunteers, we have been able to keep the library going throughout the lockdowns we’ve all suffered. We are as keen as everyone else to get the library re-opened safely and hope that it will be soon.
In the meantime you can borrow e-books and audio books from Leicestershire Libraries Borrow Box scheme. All you need is your library card and you can borrow books or audiobooks from your favourite authors.
We are looking to expand the books we have for older children and would love to hear from readers in the 11-14 age group as to the books and authors they enjoy the most. We are also hoping to improve the IT available at the library and intend to purchase ipads for public use in the libary so if you have any suggestions on how we can make this work for you we’d love to hear from you.
The Library is a Community Managed Library (CML) which means we rely on the events we hold to keep the library going. Sadly, as we have not been able to hold any events for the last year, our funds are gradually dwindling. By becoming a Library Friend you plegde to donate a small amount of money each year which helps us budget for theyear ahead. As a Library Friend you will be entered into a twice yearly draw and be kept up to date with Library newsletters. If you would like to help support the library as a Library Friend or as a Volunteer librarian please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
The Library Management Committee wishes all of our supporters, volunteers and customers a very happy and healthy new year. With a healthy new year in mind we have taken the decision to close the library again for at least the first two weeks of January. We have not taken this decision lightly but feel that it is in everyones best interest to do so.
We very much look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the library when we safely re-open. If you have any urgent requests please do call the library as we will do our best to accommodate any special requests.
We have now re-opened again and will be here until Dec 22nd when we close for Christmas.
Open Monday and Wednesday 2pm – 4.30pm and Saturday 10am- 12.30pm for book borrowing and public computer use. Please book your PC time to guarantee it will be available.
Christmas Closure: Dec 22nd- Jan 2nd. Please phone the library if you need to use the public PC’s during this time and we will try to accommodate your request.
Want some good reads to immerse yourself in ?? Last chance to stock up for the coming month is on Wednesday 4th November from 2pm. We will stay open for longer to allow all those that need to find an adventure and browse.
