North Walsham Library
In the past 55 years we have seen the
Library grow into a vital resource for the
town. There are books aplenty, an ordering
service and free book loans of up to 15
books (under 5s can borrow up to 20 books
with no late return charges).
Now with the new Open Library’s scheme,
extended opening hours make access
available to all. If the doors are not open,
your card will allow access to the library which, even when unmanned, will give you the chance to
pick up new books, or use the facilities you would normally find there (ask staff for details).
The Library has a number of computers available for public use and the staff are only too happy to
help with the basics. If you are interested in learning more on any computer related subjects, have
a chat with the staff and they will do their best to set up a session with a volunteer trainer.
For those living with dementia, loneliness or depression, aside from being a valuable source of
available information, the Library holds a number of additional resources that may be of help, ask
the staff for more details.
There is a book club, Lego club, writing group and Scrabble club and ‘Colour Me Calm’ is a chance
to let your brain take a rest and your creative side to shine through.
Loneliness is a subject still considered taboo amongst many, especially the elderly and the Library
is the perfect setting to start to tackle its effects.
For new mums and dads, Bounce and Rhyme provides a chance to meet others and share your
experiences.
Every Friday, adults are very welcome to drop in for ‘Just a Cuppa’, a gentle social chance to get out
of the house.
The Library is like a lovely pair of slippers; familiar, comfortable, warm and welcoming so why not
come for some books and stay for a cuppa.
