Planning the perfect getaway this summer? Why not visit your local library where you can choose from a huge range of books and multi-media to help you plan your break or stock up on holiday reads, including:

• Books for the beach
• Children’s books
• Talking books
• Travel books and guides
• Language courses
• DVDS
• CDs

A wide range of guide books and reference material is also available to help you plan your perfect holiday, whether in the UK or overseas, and you can also access the internet for research or to book holidays online. City Libraries also have a range of language books and courses for you to revive your French, practice some Spanish or learn Japanese from scratch!

Cllr Dave Trimble, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Communities and Culture said: "To help unwind and really get away from it all, there’s nothing better than getting stuck into a good book on holiday. Your local library is an invaluable community resource, with most services FREE or inexpensive to members, helping families and people of all ages get the most out of their summer holiday."

New stock arrives on a weekly basis and library members can reserve and renew books in person or online making it easy and convenient.
