"Love Your Library" Day
"Love Your Library" Day
4 February 2012
As part of National Libraries Day, we've organised a spectacular range of free events and activities. Meet an author, listen to music or play a game - all at your local library!
Our 2012 Love Your Library Day is Saturday 4 February.
In true library spirit, all our events are entirely free, and everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy the fun.
We are also offering a special, one-off fines amnesty for overdue items, which will take place from Saturday 4 to Saturday 11 February. People with overdue items are encouraged to return them to their local library, at which point their fines will be wiped clean.
