What's on at your library

Your new Libraries website – launching on 1 April

We will be launching our new Libraries website on Wednesday 1 April. The site will not only have an improved look and feel, for the first time you will be able search the catalogue, join, log in to your account and borrow books from the homepage. Our existing Library webpages will be offline from Friday 20 March, in preparation for launching the new site. All your account information will be carried across on Friday 20, and will be there in the new site. The App will continue working throughout. We have more information on our website  

Monthly Library Special Events

Between January and March come and join us for special BookTrust storytimes for pre-schoolers in 7 of our libraries across Thurrock. In March you can vote for your favourite from the shortlisted books. You can find out more about the BookTrust storytimes and the books from the BookTrust website. Please note all children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian when attending children's events.
