Did you know that you can borrow a health and activity tracker for free from any Surrey library? Treat it like you would a book: look it up on the Surrey Libraries catalogue, place a reservation, and pick it up from your nearest library! @SurreyLibraries @loveoxted

It's Book Club Day UK! Here's some useful information for anyone in a book club, looking for one or wanting to start a new book club. With Surrey Libraries you can: 📚Get multiple copies of the same title. 📚Use library spaces for your meetings. 📚Get support when setting up a new book group. 📚Find a place in an existing reading group. We also recommend checking out Book Club Hub from the @readingagency (bookclubhub.co.uk) as it is full of latest book news, other clubs’ recommendations and exciting giveaways to win books for your book club! Big thank you to @DorkingLibrary for the video and this post! More information about reading groups at Surrey Libraries: surreycc.gov.uk/libraries/ne… #BookClubDayUK [Video desciption: The video opens with a view from behind a row of books on a shelf. A librarian picks up a book and smiles warmly at the camera. In the next clip, she’s seated on a comfy library chair, reading the book she picked up in the previous clip. The third shot returns to the shelves, where she chooses another book. The next clip is a slow pan view of the shelves, with stacked reading group reservations. In the next scene, the librarian holds up 15 copies of fiction title My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan, then 10 copies of the nonfiction title Strong Female Character by Fern Brady. The video then shifts to a tabletop display featuring the Discover Libraries Open Roads promotion. A person off-screen reaches in to pick up a book from it. The next scene features a Libraries Recommends table, showcasing multiple copies of titles available to borrow. A relaxed reading space with a coffee table and comfy chairs is shown next. The following clip starts with the camera pointing at the floor and being gradually lifted to reveal a bookshelf, while someone off-screen browses, picking up and putting back different books. The video ends with a slow pan view of True Libraries tabletop display showing different books in the promotion.]

The fun begins in 16 days, 18 hours, and 50-odd minutes... Can you tell we're excited?! Book tickets for John Kirk or Lucy Reynolds via Eventbrite (👇) or drop in to sign up for the #SummerReadingChallenge and enjoy FREE crafts with @SurreyWT and @SurreyHillsSoc @readingagency @ExploreSurreyUK eventbrite.com/cc/summer-rea…
The @readingagency #SummerReadingChallenge starts in less than four weeks, and we couldn’t be more excited to announce a very special launch event! For this year’s theme, #StoryGarden, we’ll be taking the library outdoors and heading to #NewlandsCorner, one of the many beautiful outdoor public spaces that Surrey has to offer. Drop in and see us at any time between 11am and 2pm on Saturday 5th July to take part in FREE craft activities run by our friends @SurreyWT and @SurreyHillsSoc and, of course, sign up to the Summer Reading Challenge! You can also book tickets via Eventbrite for two very special events taking place on the day – an outdoor author event with the amazing Lucy Reynolds, who will be reading from her book ‘We Are Family’, and a guided walk followed by a Storytelling session with the incredible John Kirk – underneath thousand-year-old yew trees! There are a limited number of spaces available for these events, so book soon: eventbrite.com/cc/summer-rea…… The Summer Reading Challenge runs from 5th July to 13th September, so there’s plenty of time for children to complete the Challenge of reading 6 books, collecting rewards along the way.
