A Monthly Publication

It’s really easy to join Norfolk Libraries and once a member you can

discover all that’s on offer. From serious reads and ebooks to

children’s events and new release DVDs, there’s something for

everyone!

Throughout January, Norfolk Library and Information Service is

promoting all the benefits of becoming a library member with a monthlong

promotion called 'Join-Up January'. There are county council-run

library buildings and mobile libraries across Norfolk, which means

there is likely to be one fairly close to where you live, and there's so

much more to them than a place to borrow books.

Did you know you can also borrow console games, DVDs and CDs

at reasonable rates and return them to any library? An ebooks service

allows you to download and borrow ebooks for free from the comfort

of your own home. And there are always events, activities and clubs

for both children and adults going on in libraries.

It's completely free to join the library and quick and easy. You can

do it online at www.norfolk.gov.uk/libraries or drop into your local

library and staff will take down your details and get you and up and

running in just a couple of minutes.

With libraries it's free to:

· borrow books and magazines

· use public PCs

· borrow ebooks from your own home

· attend lots of events including children's activities and author visits

·access information from your local councils and other organisations

For more information visit your local library, call 0344 800 8006 or

Hunstanton Town Read - One Book, One Town

Starts Saturday 7th January 10am

Hunstanton Library is on a mission to see how many members of the

local community they can encourage to read and share the same book

at the same time - the chosen book is The Thirteenth Tale by Diane

Setterfield. It's a compelling and emotional mystery in the timeless

vein of Daphne du Maurier's 'Rebecca', about family secrets and the

magic of books and storytelling.

Reclusive author Vida Winter, famous for her collection of twelve

enchanting stories, has spent the past six decades penning a series of

alternate lives for herself. Now old and ailing, she is ready to reveal

the truth about her extraordinary existence and the violent and tragic

past she has kept secret for so long. Calling on Margaret Lea, a young

biographer troubled by her own painful history, Vida disinters the life

she meant to bury for good.

How can you take part?
