Follow our Recovery Gardens Project
Last year we developed a plan to transform our greenspaces into areas that are equally welcoming to everyone of all ages and abilities and that help to improve our environment. Our Recovery Gardens Project was born.
Newspapers & Publications
We are delighted to say that we now have daily local and national newspapers available for you to enjoy when you visit us. We will also be adding various publications too.
Got any ideas on what you would like to see available? Please do let us know, especially for younger and teenage readers.
BOOK FINES UPDATE!!
Since West Northamptonshire Council were required to close library buildings in March 2020 to comply with Government Covid-19 requirements, late return charges and fees have been suspended. However, as libraries across the county have now restored their normal business hours, late return charges for items will be re-instated from Monday 2 August 2021.
To allow for the return of any long overdue items, without penalty, there will be an amnesty for the month of July 2021. Any items returned during this time will incur no charges, even if they were overdue before the libraries closed in March 2020.
The Virtual School Library
The Oak National Academy delivers a Virtual School Library in partnership with the National Literacy Trust [see our Learning Opportunities page] which offers free books and audiobooks. Discover the Legend of Kevin with Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre this week. Also download fun activities at: https://library.thenational.academy/
Opportunity to Meet your local Officers
The local Neighbourhood Policing Team would like to invite you to meet your local officers Craig and Tara in the Buckby Library & Hub Car Park on the 18th of June between 1400 & 1600.
Please pop along to discuss any local issues you may have or even just to say hello to the team.
