It's Volunteers' Week at Explore! We'd like to say a massive thank you to our amazing volunteers, this week and every week!

John has been volunteering for Tang Hall Explore for the past 3 years and would absolutely recommend volunteering at the library – it provides a regular time in his week when he can connect to his local community: “You can choose your own time to come in and even 1 hour is helpful and adds up to a lot over a year – it’s very flexible. And it’s interesting - you have access to all the books!”

Could you give your time to help support Explore? Follow the link in the comments below to find out more about our volunteer roles.

A fresh month and a fresh delivery of shiny, crisp books with *that* new book smell! 📚✨ We're particularly excited to read the newly published 'The Library After Dark' for obvious reasons but Cleopatra and Calamity Club are hot off the press too! You can jump in the queue and reserve a book online or come have a nosey in person!
