| National Libraries Day: Use It, Love It, Join It! |
 It's National Libraries Day on Saturday 9 February! There is something for everyone at our libraries so please show your support this year.
Join in the celebrations by coming to one of the special events, or tell a friend, relative or neighbour why you love your library and get them to sign up as a member.
If you are already a library member, why not show your support by borrowing an extra item next time you visit or use some of our excellent online resources like the free e-audio book service.
For those who love your library, you can give something back to the service. We welcome book donations at any library and will be letting people know how they can donate magazines on the day. Alternatively, why not sign up as a library volunteer or join a library Friends group.
Keep up to date with what is happening by visiting our website. We will update the page with news, events and tell you how to win a prize during the National Libraries Day celebrations. |

Thank you from St Ives Library | |
 On Saturday 22 December St Ives Library hosted a carol concert with the RAF Wyton Volunteer Band.
The band played a selection of carols and Christmas songs. Many families came along to enjoy the performance and donations were taken for the charity DEBRA. We'd like to thank those who attended. |
