Crook library and our great library services.
We’re fortunate with County Durham Libraries and have several across #NorthWestDurham including at: Crook, Consett, Willington, Langley Park, Lanchester and Wolsingham as well as others nearby.
At my pensioners fair recently I was really impressed by some of the services on offer - beyond the traditional book lending - and asked to visit Crook Library formally to see for myself and help highlight some of the great range of free services on offer. The below are free to use and available online (where you can also join the library to access them) notably:
#BorrowBox - fantastic for AudioBooks and EBooks (all free to access) >>> which you can download via apple here https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/borrowbox-library/id562843562 or just search ‘Borrow Box’ on whatever app service you use
#Libby - fantastic for periodicals and magazines (all free to access) from HELLO! to The Economist to Good Housekeeping to great tech magazines and graphic novels, which you can download via apple here https://apps.apple.com/.../libby-by-overdrive/id1076402606 or just search ‘Libby’ on whatever app service you use
These online services are always open!
For local library services, including normal opening hours and what’s on at your local library, check out the Council website here:

Best wishes and huge thanks to the team in Crook for signing me up and showing me round
Best wishes and Happy Christmas,
